google-translate-tts

google-translate-tts
---

This package is for using Google Translate to create audio clips in node js.

This library has been updated to work with the new
changes
to the Translate API introduced by Google in November 2020.

A spiritual successor to google-tts-api
which worked with the previous Translate API.

Installation

``
npm install google-translate-tts
`

or

`
yarn add google-translate-tts
`

Usage

Find a voice to use:

`js
const tts = require('google-translate-tts');

// lookup by name
const voice = tts.voices.findByName('English (United States)');

// lookup by code
const voice = tts.voices.findByCode('en-US');

// an array of all voices
console.log(tts.voices);

/* Voice example:
* {
* code: 'en-US',
* name: 'English (United States)'
* }
*/
`

Download an audio clip:

`js
const fs = require('fs');
const tts = require('google-translate-tts');

// notice that tts.synthesize returns a Promise
const saveFile = async () => {
const buffer = await tts.synthesize({
text: 'Hello, world!',
voice: 'en-US',
slow: false // optional
});

fs.writeFileSync('hello-world.mp3', buffer);
};

saveFile();
