Node.js idiomatic client for Cloud Text-to-Speech API.

The Cloud Text-to-Speech API converts text or Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) input into audio data of natural human speech.

Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained.

Table of contents:

Quickstart

Before you begin

  1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.

    Go to the projects page

  2. Enable billing for your project.

    Enable billing

  3. Enable the Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API.

    Enable the API

  4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install --save @google-cloud/text-to-speech

Using the client library

const fs = require('fs');

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const textToSpeech = require('@google-cloud/text-to-speech');

// Creates a client
const client = new textToSpeech.TextToSpeechClient();

// The text to synthesize
const text = 'Hello, world!';

// Construct the request
const request = {
  input: {text: text},
  // Select the language and SSML Voice Gender (optional)
  voice: {languageCode: 'en-US', ssmlGender: 'NEUTRAL'},
  // Select the type of audio encoding
  audioConfig: {audioEncoding: 'MP3'},
};

// Performs the Text-to-Speech request
client.synthesizeSpeech(request, (err, response) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error('ERROR:', err);
    return;
  }

  // Write the binary audio content to a local file
  fs.writeFile('output.mp3', response.audioContent, 'binary', err => {
    if (err) {
      console.error('ERROR:', err);
      return;
    }
    console.log('Audio content written to file: output.mp3');
  });
});

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be in alpha. This means it is still a work-in-progress and under active development. Any release is subject to backwards-incompatible changes at any time.
