Chit Chat

A little Redis experiment in Go.

Basically publish text to a Redis topic, and the subscribers speak the phrase via the /usr/bin/say command.

For amusement create mutliple subscribers on multiple machines, with different voices.

Build

See build.sh

Usage

Publisher

The voice parameter is ignored for the publisher.

$ ./bin/chitchatpub --help
Usage of ./bin/chitchatpub:
-db=0: Redis database
-host="127.0.0.1": Redis host
-key="speech": Key to broadcast to
-port=6379: Redis port
-voice="": Voice to use for speech

Subscriber

The voice parameter is optional. If not supplied the say command will be executed without a voice specified so the system default will be used.

If a voice is specified it is assumed to exist on your system. Specifiying a voice that does not exist will result in silence when speaking a message.

$ ./bin/chitchatsub --help
Usage of ./bin/chitchatsub:
-db=0: Redis database
-host="127.0.0.1": Redis host
-key="speech": Key to broadcast to
-port=6379: Redis port
-voice="": Voice to use for speech

Examples

Subscribe to messages, using voice alex

$ ./bin/chitchatsub -v alex --host 192.168.x.y

Publish a message

$ ./bin/chitchatsub -v alex --host 192.168.x.y

Publish a message.

$ ./bin/chitchatpub --host 192.168.x.y This is the sound of noise

Listen to the voices, but take care when following their advice :)
