This module takes a command (…Task.Do) with a idnumber and plays a wave file xxx_id.wav, right now this module has to be on the same machine as the speech_renderer since the speech renderer creates the wave file locally.

Xml: <SpeechDone fragment_id=“97”/>

The executables are located in the “roboradio/is/ru/cadia/roboradio/src/modules/executors/speech/SpeechPlanner” folder

The same module is used for Speech_renderer and Speech_player but with different parameters

To run the speech_renderer in Linux: ./speechplanner psyclone=localhost

To run the Speech_player: ./speechplanner psyclone=localhost module=Speaker
