Google Text to Speech API is an iOS drop-in class that adds text to speech functionality to your app. The API was developed using an undocumented Google APIs.
GoogleTTSAPI works on any iOS version and is compatible with both ARC projects. It depends on the following Apple frameworks, which should already be included with most Xcode templates:
- Foundation.framework
- UIKit.framework
GoogleTTSAPI provides two methods that can be used to convert your text. Both of them are executed on background.
NSString *text = @"Hello world";
NSString *language = @"en";
[GoogleTTSAPI textToSpeechWithText:text andLanguage:language success:^(NSData *data) {
// Handle the returned NSData. Typically write it to a file and then play it
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
// Handler error here
}];When the language is not provided, the GoogleTTSAPI uses the device's current locale.
NSString *text = @"Hello world";
[GoogleTTSAPI textToSpeechWithText:text success:^(NSData *data) {
// Handle the returned NSData. Typically write it to a file and then play it
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
// Handler error here
}];For more details, take a look at the bundled demo project.
