Setting output path

Set absolute path of the directory where to save the output. You don't need to provide a file name as it will be auto generated.

$path = '/aboslute/path/to/directory';

$polly->setOutputPath($path);

NOTE: You can also pass output path with textToVoice() which will override this path

Convert Text to Speech

Pass text to convert to speech.

$file = $polly->textToVoice(
    'Hello World',
    $param
);

$params should be array and can have following content.

$param = [
    'language' => 'en-US',
    'voice' => 'Justin',
    'output_path' => '/absolute/file/path'
]

This will return the absolute path of the file created if text to speech conversion is successful, otherwise will throw Exception.
