Convert Text To Real Human Speech With Google Cloud Text-To-Speech API In Python

Google Text-to-Speech is a cloud service by Google that turns text into natural-sounding speech. Using advanced machine learning, it offers a variety of voices and languages, making digital content more engaging and accessible to a wide audience. In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to get started with Google Cloud Text To Speech API in Python.

My code works fine but whenever I try to change the speaking rate it does not work. I have tried to find more documentation on it but I cannot figure out why it will not register. If I go outside the range it will come up with an error, which means it does know what float number I am using. Does changing the speaking rate work for you?

Great video, this is the best I have found!

Thanks for the comment!

So useful, thanks

[@user-hq4im9wb8k]

hi does it work like you give the text and it converted to the mp3 then you play?
If i give everytime new text so it will create that mp3????

[@jiejenn]

You can. I have done it with most of TTS APIs.

[@user-qr8ob4dz5g]

hi. how long at most the desired text strings can be?
i want to create mp3 for 10hour audiobook from a 85000 words text file as input. tnx

[@jiejenn]

The limit is 5000 bytes per request. You will need to chunk the audio file individually. cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/quotas

[@fabiolazza8182]

I was lost when you started explaining the Python Env script.
So how do you initialize it ? Could you please detail that step for me ?

[@underemployed7136]

google it

[@dickiie9970]

has the pricing changed? as of 1st of May 2024, it says that text to speech on-device per device USD XX.XX , this means that every device that use this API, have to pay x amount?

[@jiejenn]

Can you share the source?

[@engitix]

Which python version do you use?

[@jiejenn]

Currently Python 3.10. Looking to upgrade to Python 3.12 soon.

[@HideBuz]

Can you go into how to chunk so that sentences are not broken up?

[@jiejenn]

Not sure if I understand your question.

[@HideBuz]

@@jiejennMy bad: "Can you go into the chunking of texts, so that sentences are not broken up / split into the middle in order to solve the google api max chunk size problem?" Also how can we generate a single large audiofile instead of many small chunks the the google api returns? I would appreciate a version 2 of the video with improved code on how to deal with the api limit. Many thanks! You earned a sub!

[@Legend.-.]

Can we stream the response of google text to speech?

[@jiejenn]

Yes, you can.

[@Legend.-.]

@@jiejenn ohh, can you share any resources for doing it? I am trying to accomplish it but its not working for me.

[@jiejenn]

​@@Legend.-. I need to check if I still have the script. I will let you know.

[@w.davidwilliams2544]

I am not a Python expert. Can someone help me set it up?

[@shakil_ilham]

Hi. I can help you.

[@bringtolife9462]

This program is not working which every you showed in the video. Exactly did your code. but not working

[@jiejenn]

@@bringtolife9462 okay.

[@minhsenma]

Please makw video add drop shadow to around app

[@jiejenn]

Can you be more specific? Not sure if I understand what you mean.

[@minhsenma]

@@jiejenn yes add style specific to widget and add custom style to mainwindow drop shadow border ...

[@ribeiro4642]

Wouldn't it be easier to create an API key?
05:45

[@jiejenn]

@@ribeiro4642Only a limited services support API key, TTS is not one of them.

[@ribeiro4642]

@@jiejenn I'm using Google's TTS via API.
This made things much simpler.
