Methods

getProjectId(callback)

Return the project ID used by this class.

Parameter

Name Type Optional Description

callback

function(Error, string)

 

the callback to be called with the current project Id.

listVoices(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Returns a list of Voice supported for synthesis.

Example

const textToSpeech = require('@google-cloud/text-to-speech');

const client = new textToSpeech.v1beta1.TextToSpeechClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});


client.listVoices({})
  .then(responses => {
    const response = responses[0];
    // doThingsWith(response)
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Parameters

Name Type Optional Description

request

Object

 

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

languageCode

string

Yes

Optional (but recommended) BCP-47 language tag. If specified, the ListVoices call will only return voices that can be used to synthesize this language_code. E.g. when specifying "en-NZ", you will get supported "en-" voices; when specifying "no", you will get supported "no-" (Norwegian) and "nb-" (Norwegian Bokmal) voices; specifying "zh" will also get supported "cmn-" voices; specifying "zh-hk" will also get supported "yue-*" voices.

options

Object

Yes

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.

callback

function(nullable Error, nullable Object)

Yes

The function which will be called with the result of the API call.

The second parameter to the callback is an object representing ListVoicesResponse.

Returns

Promise 

  • The promise which resolves to an array. The first element of the array is an object representing ListVoicesResponse. The promise has a method named "cancel" which cancels the ongoing API call.

synthesizeSpeech(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Synthesizes speech synchronously: receive results after all text input has been processed.

Example

const textToSpeech = require('@google-cloud/text-to-speech');

const client = new textToSpeech.v1beta1.TextToSpeechClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

const input = {};
const voice = {};
const audioConfig = {};
const request = {
  input: input,
  voice: voice,
  audioConfig: audioConfig,
};
client.synthesizeSpeech(request)
  .then(responses => {
    const response = responses[0];
    // doThingsWith(response)
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Parameters

Name Type Optional Description

request

Object

 

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

Required. The Synthesizer requires either plain text or SSML as input.

This object should have the same structure as SynthesisInput

voice

Object

 

Required. The desired voice of the synthesized audio.

This object should have the same structure as VoiceSelectionParams

audioConfig

Object

 

Required. The configuration of the synthesized audio.

This object should have the same structure as AudioConfig

Yes

The function which will be called with the result of the API call.

The second parameter to the callback is an object representing SynthesizeSpeechResponse.

Returns

Promise 

  • The promise which resolves to an array. The first element of the array is an object representing SynthesizeSpeechResponse. The promise has a method named "cancel" which cancels the ongoing API call.
