# Testing DECTalk Server with TTSTOY

Quick testing guide to verify everything works.

## Step 1: Start the DECTalk Server

```bash
cd ~/Desktop/ttstoy/dectalk-server
PORT=33001 npm start
```

You should see:
```
DECTalk TTS Server running on http://localhost:33001
Health check: http://localhost:33001/health
Simple API: http://localhost:33001/say?text=Hello
MiniMax-compatible API: POST http://localhost:33001/v1/t2a_v2
```

## Step 2: Test the API Directly

Open a new terminal and test:

```bash
# Test health check
curl http://127.0.0.1:33001/health

# Test simple endpoint (saves to test.mp3)
curl "http://127.0.0.1:33001/say?text=Hello%20world" -o test.mp3

# Play the audio
ffplay test.mp3
# or
mpv test.mp3

# Test MiniMax-compatible endpoint
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:33001/v1/t2a_v2 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "Testing DECTalk compatibility", "voice_setting": {"voice_id": "default"}}' \
  | jq '.base_resp'
```

Expected output:
```json
{
  "status_code": 0,
  "status_msg": "Success"
}
```

## Step 3: Configure TTSTOY

In Discord:

```
[p]ttstoy dectalkurl http://127.0.0.1:33001
[p]ttstoy mode dectalk
[p]ttstoy mode
```

You should see:
```
Current TTS Mode: 🤖 DECTALK
DECTalk API URL: http://127.0.0.1:33001
```

## Step 4: Test TTS in Discord

```
[p]tts Hello, I am DECTalk, a text to speech system.
```

The bot should:
1. Generate audio using DECTalk
2. Upload the MP3 file to Discord
3. Play it in voice chat

## Step 5: Test with Emoji SFX

```
[p]tts Hello 🎉 this is a party 🔥
```

The bot should mix DECTalk voice with sound effects.

## Troubleshooting

### Server won't start (port in use)

```bash
# Find what's using port 33001
lsof -i :33001

# Use a different port
PORT=33002 npm start

# Update TTSTOY
[p]ttstoy dectalkurl http://127.0.0.1:33002
```

### "Cannot reach DECTalk API"

1. Check server is running:
```bash
curl http://127.0.0.1:33001/health
```

2. Check server logs in the terminal where you started it

3. Verify URL in TTSTOY:
```
[p]ttstoy dectalkurl
```

### Audio not playing

1. Make sure ffmpeg is installed:
```bash
ffmpeg -version
```

2. Check bot logs for errors

3. Test the `/say` endpoint directly and play the audio

### "say: command not found" (Linux)

The current server uses macOS `say` command. On Linux, you need to:

1. Install actual DECTalk or use espeak:
```bash
# Option 1: espeak (simple)
sudo apt install espeak

# Option 2: Install dectalk-tts
npm install -g dectalk-tts
```

2. Modify `server.js` to use the appropriate command

## Success Checklist

- [ ] DECTalk server starts without errors
- [ ] `/health` endpoint returns `{"status": "ok"}`
- [ ] `/say` endpoint generates audio file
- [ ] TTSTOY mode switches to dectalk
- [ ] `[p]tts` command works in Discord
- [ ] Audio plays in voice chat
- [ ] Emoji SFX work correctly

## Next Steps

Once everything works:

1. Set up auto-start with systemd or PM2
2. Configure firewall if needed
3. Consider using actual DECTalk binary for authentic voice
4. Add cleanup for old audio files in output/
