Google Cloud Text-to-Speech AI API in Python - Getting Started (Part 1)

In part 1 of the Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API tutorial series, I will be going over some of the important information before you start using Google Text-to-Speech API in Python. Some of the things I will be going over: a product demo, pricing, quota limit.

What is Google Cloud Text-To-Speech?
-------------------------------------------------
With Google Cloud Text-to-Speech Cloud API, we can convert text into natural-sounding speech using an API powered by Google’s AI technologies.
Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API allows developers to include natural-sounding, synthetic human speech as playable audio in their applications. The Text-to-Speech API converts text or Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) input into audio data like MP3 or LINEAR16 (the encoding used in WAV files).
- Improve customer interactions with intelligent, lifelike responses
- Engage users with voice user interface in your devices and applications
- Personalize your communication based on user preference of voice and language

You are awesome! Thank you for this!

[@alexscopes1536]

So would I say a few sentences into the microphone and then it would use my voice through AI to say anything I put into the text to speech area?

[@somethingwithbryan]

not exactly. you can get it to speak with your voice but you have to send a lot of spoken words to google and wait for them to train it

[@jiejenn]

Just saw this comment after two months 😂. Anyway to answer the question, if you want voice AI to use your voice, first you will need to submit an application for approval to state that the voice you submitted is your own or you have the usage right and the purpose of why you want to use a custom voice. If your application is approved, the very minimum model training is speak 10 minutes worth of paragraphs. 30 minutes is the average and 2 hours is the ideal.

you have knowledge on this one. so, how I, add new language into google cloud

[@KVergot]

This is a great explanation. I am experiencing a lot of latency. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

[@jiejenn]

If you are experiencing latency, it is either your internet is a bit slow or Google Cloud server is busy.

Is this the easiest way to use google cloud text to speech? The demo that's provided by google allows you to just type the text into a box. To actually use it...it seems like you have to learn python coding and a bunch of stuff. Is there not a way to just use it like in the demo?

[@jiejenn]

There are many paid services use Google text to speech as the backend with a UI to let you transcribe text to audio.
