go-tts

Converts text-to-speech using google translate API, so it needs an internet connection to do so.

The application can get text stream from stdin and create audio stream into stdout.

Use . or \n (new line) to over a statement, including the last one.

Installation

go install github.com/go-tts/tts/cmd/tts@latest

This command will build tts tool on your machine, so you could use it as tts further.

or run from source code:

git clone github.com/go-tts/tts
cd tts
go run cmd/tts/main.go "Hello world"

Play from terminal

tts "Hello world"

Such call suppose to pronounce a text passed to tts. If -l is not defined, en-US language will be used for pronunciation.

Write to file

tts -l=en -i=text_file.txt -o=audio_file.mp3
tts -l en-US < text_file.txt > audio_file.mp3

Use with pipe

tts -l it "Muy bien. Chao." | ffmpeg -i - -filter:a "atempo=1.5" audio_file.mp3

As an example, here ffmpeg increases the speech speed by 1.5x.

Use in your projects

import "github.com/go-tts/tts/pkg/speech"

Just import speech package and use it's functions.

audioIn, err := speech.FromText(text, speech.LangEn)

audioIn := speech.FromTextStream(textIn, speech.LangUs)

err := speech.WriteToAudioStream(textIn, audioOut, "it")
