Create a service account on Google Cloud first and download a config file (save it at the root of this project), rename it to service-account.json.
(!) If you fork this in the public domain, do not remove service-account.json from .gitignore !

Then,

npm run start:server [--watch]

(use --watch if you need the server to restart when you change its code.)

Front

Install API

npm i -D @vdegenne/tts-server

Usage

import {tts} from '@vdegenne/tts-server'

const audioWrap = await tts({text: 'こんにちは'})
// the `await` here is just for the hash function
// it does not wait for the request to finish.

audioWrap.error.catch((err) => {
	// e.g. fails if the server is down
	console.error('TTS failed:', err)
})

await audioWrap.play()

Notes

• If you bump the versions, beware @google-cloud/text-to-speech internal google-auth-libary library has a mismatch with the one installed in this project. Try to make them match together.
