A simple NPM package to convert text to voice using native JavaScript API.
TextToSpeech API is a lightweight JavaScript class that provides an easy way to convert text to speech using the native Web Speech API. It allows customization of voice selection, speech rate, and pitch, making it a versatile tool for web applications that require voice synthesis capabilities.
You can install the package via npm if you plan to use it in a Node.js environment:
npm install text-to-speech-api
For web applications, you can directly include the script in your HTML file:
<script src="./path/to/index.js"></script>
If using Node.js:
const TextToSpeech = require('text-to-speech-api');
If using directly in the browser, ensure the script is included in your HTML file.
To convert text to speech, simply call the convert method of the TextToSpeech class:
const text = "Hello, this is a text to voice conversion!";
TextToSpeech.convert(text);
You can specify a voice by name, adjusting the rate and pitch as needed:
const text = "Hello, this is a text to voice conversion!";
const voiceName = "Google US English"; // Adjust to the desired voice name
TextToSpeech.convert(text, voiceName, 1.2, 1.0);
The convert method accepts optional parameters for rate and pitch:
1).1).Example:
TextToSpeech.convert("This is a faster voice!", null, 1.5, 1);
The convert method throws an error if the SpeechSynthesis API is not supported:
try {
TextToSpeech.convert("Hello, world!");
} catch (error) {
console.error(error.message);
}
Here is a simple example of how to use TextToSpeech in an HTML file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Text to Voice Example</title>
<script src="./path/to/index.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Text to Voice Example</h1>
<button id="speakButton">Speak Text</button>
<script>
document.getElementById('speakButton').addEventListener('click', () => {
const text = "Hello, this is a text to voice conversion!";
TextToSpeech.convert(text);
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
