A high-quality & reliable TTS/STT library for Server and Browser
Documents · Changelog · Report Bug · Request Feature
🤖 Lobe Chat supports Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Speech-to-Text (STT) technologies, enabling our application to convert text messages into clear voice outputs, allowing users to interact with our conversational agent as if they were talking to a real person. Users can choose from a variety of voices to pair with the agent.
In the process of implementing this feature, we found that there was no satisfactory TTS (Text-to-Speech) frontend library available on the market. As a result, we invested a lot of effort, including data conversion, audio progress management, and speech visualization, among other tasks.
[!NOTE]
Therefore, we decided to refine our implementation and make it open source, hoping to assist developers who wish to implement TTS. @lobehub/tts is a high-quality TTS toolkit developed in TypeScript, which supports usage both on the server-side and in the browser.
- Server-side: With just 15 lines of code, you can achieve high-quality voice generation capabilities comparable to OpenAI's TTS service. It currently supports EdgeSpeechTTS, MicrosoftTTS, OpenAITTS, and OpenAISTT.
- Browser-side: It provides high-quality React Hooks and visual audio components, supporting common functions such as loading, playing, pausing, and dragging the timeline. Additionally, it offers a very rich set of capabilities for adjusting the audio track styles.
run the script below use Bun: bun index.js
// index.js
import { EdgeSpeechTTS } from '@lobehub/tts';
import { Buffer } from 'buffer';
import fs from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
// Instantiate EdgeSpeechTTS
const tts = new EdgeSpeechTTS({ locale: 'en-US' });
// Create speech synthesis request payload
const payload = {
input: 'This is a speech demonstration',
options: {
voice: 'en-US-GuyNeural',
},
};
// Call create method to synthesize speech
const response = await tts.create(payload);
// generate speech file
const mp3Buffer = Buffer.from(await response.arrayBuffer());
const speechFile = path.resolve('./speech.mp3');
fs.writeFileSync(speechFile, mp3Buffer);

[!IMPORTANT]
Run on Node.jsAs the Node.js environment lacks the
WebSocketinstance, we need to polyfill WebSocket. This can be done by importing the ws package.
// import at the top of the file
import WebSocket from 'ws';
global.WebSocket = WebSocket;
import { AudioPlayer, AudioVisualizer, useAudioPlayer } from '@lobehub/tts/react';
export default () => {
const { ref, isLoading, ...audio } = useAudioPlayer(url);
return (
<Flexbox align={'center'} gap={8}>
<AudioPlayer audio={audio} isLoading={isLoading} style={{ width: '100%' }} />
<AudioVisualizer audioRef={ref} isLoading={isLoading} />
</Flexbox>
);
};
