Radio Module: Meshages TTS (Text-to-Speech) Setup

The radio module supports audible mesh messages using the KittenTTS engine. This allows the bot to generate and play speech from text, making mesh alerts and messages audible on your device.

Features

Converts mesh messages to speech using KittenTTS.

Installation

Install Python dependencies:
- kittentts is the TTS engine.

pip install https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS/releases/download/0.1/kittentts-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

Install PortAudio (required for sounddevice):
- macOS:
```
brew install portaudio
```
- Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):
```
sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
```
- Windows:
  No extra step needed; sounddevice will use the default audio driver.

Configuration

Enable TTS in your config.ini:
```
[radioMon]
meshagesTTS = True
```

Usage

When enabled, the bot will generate and play speech for mesh messages using the selected voice.
No additional user action is required.

Troubleshooting

If you see errors about missing sounddevice or portaudio, ensure you have installed the dependencies above.
On macOS, you may need to allow microphone/audio access for your terminal.
If you have audio issues, check your system’s default output device.
