DCS RadioComm VoiceLineGenerator

For lots of reasons, mission editors want to have a radio-like voice for certain triggers and events. For other reasons, a lot of people don't want to record their own voice, and clipping too much out of movies can get you in trouble for copyright.

This tool aims to provide some barebones audio with a light radio-like filter applied automatically.

Installing this Script

  • Must have Python 3.9 or higher installed.
  • Must have ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe located at %FFMPEG_HOME%. (Download a windows package from - http://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows)
  • This script uses Pyttsx3 and pydub. Make sure you pip install both of those. You can run pip install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies automatically.

Running the Script

Once you're setup, just make a CSV file with the audio file names in column 1, and the phrase, with wrapped in " or , in column 2

Generate audio with the default voice, and a csv file of lines with

`python ./dcs_speech_generator.py --file csvFilePath.csv`

Generate with a specific voice using

`python ./dcs_speech_generator.py --file csvFilePath.csv --voice [voiceID from your system]`

List all currently installed voice ID's for your system

`python ./dcs_speech_generator.py --lsvoices`

Specify your FFMPEG home directory manually with the --ffmpegHome flag. python ./dcs_speech_generator.py --ffmpegHome C:\path\to\ffmpeg\ --file csv\File\Path.csv

Audio files will be dropped in the current users's Desktop folder, unless the --outputDir flag is used. the trailing "" can be included or ommitted,

`python  ./dcs_speech_generator.py --file csv\File\Path.csv --outputDir C:\my\custom\path` 

`python  ./dcs_speech_generator.py --file csv\File\Path.csv --outputDir C:\my\custom\path\`

Boost or reduce the overall volume of the audio generated using the --volume flag

`python  ./dcs_speech_generator.py --file csv\File\Path.csv --volume 5`

`python  ./dcs_speech_generator.py --file csv\File\Path.csv --volume -5`
