Other WaveNet voices for Google Assistant - text-to-speech

I would like to know if WaveNet voices can be used as an assistant
voice in google actions (Develop> Invocation> Google Assistant voice). For example it-IT-Wavenet-B.
I used a google action that uses these types of voices.
I am waiting for an answer.
Thanks so much.

For each locale that your Action supports, you should be able to select the voice from a dropdown. These are going to be the high-quality voices, often or always Wavenet-based. In this screenshot you see the voices for en-US.

Is it possible to search/browse music via the Sonos API

I'm building a sonos control application that should basically have the same functionality as the sonos app.
I'm using the API at https://developer.sonos.com/ and I am able to control a sonos speaker, play, pause etc. but I can't find how to search/browse music.
Does anyone know if this is possible and, if so, where do I find the commands?
(I know this has been asked before but that was over 3 years ago)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Robert.
The Sonos Cloud API is too lame to offer content browsing and searching.
You use ContentDirectory.Browse per the UPnP documentation to enumerate and search everything except music service content.

Google Assistant in React Native Project?

I am trying to implement a feature that would prompt user to say something (automatically and show "Speak Again" or something similar if user isn't saying something) and when the user is done speaking I would use the audio + (audio in text format) for further processing. Right now I am seeing Google Assistant already does similar stuff in android phones. I am looking for a way to use Google Assistant for my purpose, but couldn't find any proper resource.

How can I detect if a user is invisible on Yahoo Messenger

There are some existing online services (like this one) where you can enter a yahoo user, and it will tell you if the user is online, invisible or offline.
Is there a way I can do that? (using some Yahoo API? or using some tricks?)
Note: The programming language doesn't matter too much. It could be Python, C#, etc.

Speech to Text API (NON-MOBILE)

I'm trying to write a program that takes in audio from the user via microphone, and then converts what's being said to text for further manipulation.
I know google has such a thing, but it's for Android developers, and I'm trying to make something more like a chrome extension (chrome extension is what I had envisioned, but I'm open to alternatives).
I've looked at the Mac OSX NSSpeechRecognizer, but I need something more comprehensive since this requires you to specify a limited grammer ahead of time.
I can't expect, or predict what my users will say into the microphone (but I CAN assume it will be English).
Google have an unofficial API, which can be used as described in this post:
http://mikepultz.com/2011/03/accessing-google-speech-api-chrome-11/
If you're writing a chrome extension, you might be able to use a tag like:
<input type="text" x-webkit-speech />
which adds the microphone button and uses google's cloud speech-recognition to fill the text box with what the user says.

Set instant messenger display message programmatically

Would a script that sets display messages for instant messengers be simple or complex? After some searching, there doesn't seem to be any information about this at all.
For the sake of an example, if I had a text file of quotations, would it be possible to have the google talk display message change to a different quotation hourly?
Depends on which client you're using. As far as I know, Google's client doesn't offer any interface for plugins, but the open source instant messenger Pidgin does. I think there already is a plugin for what you want to do, but you can write your own using the documentation and examples they give you.
The complexity of writing something like this is based on how much C or Perl you know, since you can program in either of those for Pidgin. Reading code from other people's plugins, you should be able to figure out the Pidgin API.
You can use Kik API to programmatically send rich content and files between mobile applications. It is available for iPhone and Android platforms and takes only about 5 lines of code to integrate into your app. There is more info at the API website: http://www.kik.com/dev
