Do you want to create your own Text-To-Speech convertor? Well, you may want to directly use Google “Unofficial” API to convert Text to Speech.
Google Translate had announced few weeks back some new enhancements. Where a new feature was added that can convert the text into speech.
Now the hack is, you can use the same feature to convert your own text into speech and generate a mp3 out of it. All you have to do it to construct a URL and hit it from browser. For example, if I want to convert text “Hello World” in speech, I will write following url in browser.
http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?q=Hello+World
And that’s it. This will generate an MP3 file which you can download and play.
You may want to create a small HTML form to convert text to speech. All you need is to copy following code and create a HTML file in your machine. And run it using any browser.
