Rationale:
- It is not a part of eSpeak-NG, nor useful wrapper/adapter
- It is not properly documented and maintained
- It is unsafe (running PHP daemon with user privileges and [launch
ANY](6d7101c03c/chromium_extension/index.php (L8))
received command via
[passthru](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.passthru.php) -
seriously?)

| <h5>Motivation</h5> | |||||
| Web Speech API does not support SSML input to the speech synthesis engine https://github.com/WICG/speech-api/issues/10, or the ability to capture the output of `speechSynthesis.speak()` as a`MedaiStreamTrack` or raw audio https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-speech-api/2017Jun/0000.html. | |||||
| See [Issue 1115640: [FUGU] NativeTransferableStream](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1115640). | |||||
| <h5>Synopsis</h5> | |||||
| Native Messaging => eSpeak NG => PHP `passthru()` => `fetch()` => Transferable Streams => `MediaStreamTrack`. | |||||
| Use local `espeak-ng` with `-m` option set in the browser. | |||||
| Output speech sythesis audio as a live `MediaStreamTrack`. | |||||
| Use [Native Messaging](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/nativeMessaging), PHP `passthru()` to input text and [Speech Synthesis Markup Language](https://www.w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis11/) as STDIN to [`espeak-ng`](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng), stream STDOUT in "real-time" as live `MediaStreamTrack`. | |||||
| <h5>Install<h5> | |||||
| <h6>Dependencies</h6> | |||||
| eSpeak NG [Building eSpeak NG](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/docs/building.md#building-espeak-ng). | |||||
| PHP is used for `passthru()`. Substitute server language of choice. | |||||
| ``` | |||||
| git clone https://github.com/guest271314/native-messaging-espeak-ng.git | |||||
| cd native-messaging-espeak-ng/ | |||||
| chmod +x local_server.sh index.php | |||||
| ``` | |||||
| Navigate to `chrome://extensions`, set `Developer mode` to on, click `Load unpacked`, select downloaded git directory. | |||||
| Note the generated extension ID, substitute that value for `<id>` in `native_messaging_espeakng.json`, `AudioStream.js`, `index.php`; add the value to `"extensions"` array in `manifest.json`. | |||||
| Substitute full local path to `local_server.sh` for `/path/to` in `native_messaging_espeakng.json`. | |||||
| Copy `native_messaging_espeakng.json` to `NativeMessagingHosts` directory in Chromium or Chrome configuration folder, on Linux, i.e., `~/.config/chromium`; `~/.config/google-chrome-unstable`. | |||||
| `cp native_messaging_espeakng ~/.config/chromium/NativeMessagingHosts` | |||||
| Reload extension. | |||||
| <h5>Usage</h5> | |||||
| On origins listed in `"matches"` array in `"web_accessible_resources"` object in `manifest.json`, e.g., at `console` | |||||
| ``` | |||||
| var text = `Test`; | |||||
| var stdin = `espeak-ng -m --stdout "${text}"`; | |||||
| var espeakng = new AudioStream({ stdin, recorder: true }); | |||||
| // espeakng.mediaStream: MediaStream containing MediaStreamTrack source output of espeak-ng --stdout | |||||
| var ab = await espeakng.start(); | |||||
| console.log( | |||||
| URL.createObjectURL(new Blob([ab], { type: 'audio/webm;codecs=opus' })) | |||||
| ); | |||||
| ``` | |||||
| Abort the request and audio output. | |||||
| ``` | |||||
| await espeakng.abort() | |||||
| ``` | |||||
| To turn local server on and off with user action pin and click the extension icon on Chromium or Chrome toolbar. |
| chrome.action.onClicked.addListener(() => | |||||
| chrome.runtime.sendNativeMessage('native_messaging_espeakng' | |||||
| , {}, (nativeMessage) => console.log({nativeMessage})) | |||||
