Narakeet Text to Speech Streaming API example in Dart

This repository provides a quick example demonstrating how to access the Narakeet streaming Text to Speech API from Dart.

The example sends a request to generate audio from text and saves it to output.mp3 in the local directory.

Note that Narakeet also has a text to speech API to generate long content, suitable for larger conversion tasks.

Prerequisites

This example works with Dart 3 and later. You can run it inside Docker (then it does not require a local Dart installation), or on a system with Dart 3 or later.

Running the example

1. set and export a local environment variable called NARAKEET_API_KEY, containing your API key, or alternatively edit tts.dart and add your API key on line 4.
2. Optionally modify the voice and text parameters on lines 5 and 6, which control the text to speech synthesis voice and the text sent to the API for synthesis.
3. To run inside docker, execute make run
4. Or to run outside docker, on a system with dart command line, execute dart tts.dart
