Ruby interface to Ispeech's API for generating speech from text. More info on their API at http://www.ispeech.org/api/
gem install ispeech
require 'ispeech'
Automatically looks for a config/ispeech.yml file. Configuration only requires the 'api_key'
Ispeech.config = Ispeech::Config.new('some_api_key_hash')
or
Ispeech.config = Ispeech::Config.read(path_to_my_own_yaml_config_file)
Get the voice service object:
service = Ispeech.voice_service
or
service = Ispeech::VoiceService.new(my_config_object)
response = service.generate_sound('speak this text', language_or_voice_options)
or
response = service.generate_with_voice('speak this text', my_voice_object)
All available voices are defined in voices/default.rb
You can specificy language, gender, voice name in any combination
response = service.generate_sound('speak this text', {:language => :en, :gender => :male, :speaker => :usenglishfemale})
If you have access to different set of voice there are rake tasks to generate a different voice map and any customization of the voice map should be easy. Refer to the spec for details of that.
The response is saved to a tempfile which can be moved, copied or otherwise streamed.
response = service.generate_sound('speak this text')
tempfile = response.download_to_tempfile
FileUtils.mv(tempfile.path, 'speak_this_text.mp3')
For convinence purposes you can use an inbuilt mock to avoid web request while testing.
require 'ispeech/mock'
Ispeech::Mock.enable!
Ispeech::Mock.disable!
Only two expectations can be set
Ispeech::VoiceService.expect_ok_response
or
Ispeech::VoiceService.expect_error_response
