Features
- Text-to-Speech: Convert text into natural-sounding speech using Microsoft Edge's TTS capabilities.
- Multiple Voices: Access a variety of voices to suit your project's needs.
- Audio Export Options: Export synthesized audio in different formats (raw, base64, or directly to a file).
- Command-Line Interface: Use a simple CLI for easy access to functionality.
- Easy Integration: Modular structure allows for easy inclusion in existing projects.

You can install Edge TTS via npm. Run the following command in your terminal:
bun add @andresaya/edge-tts
npm install @andresaya/edge-tts

edge-tts voice-list
Integration into Your Project To use Edge TTS in your Bun project, you can import it like this:
import { EdgeTTS } from '@andresaya/edge-tts';
// Initialize the EdgeTTS service
const tts = new EdgeTTS();
// Get voices
const voices = await tts.getVoices();
console.log(voices); // Display available voices
// Synthesize text with options for voice, rate, volume, and pitch
await tts.synthesize("Hello, world!", 'en-US-AriaNeural', {
rate: '0%', // Speech rate (range: -100% to 100%)
volume: '0%', // Speech volume (range: -100% to 100%)
pitch: '0Hz' // Voice pitch (range: -100Hz to 100Hz)
});
// Export synthesized audio in different formats
tts.toBase64(); // Get audio as base64
await tts.toFile("output_audio"); // Save audio to file
await tts.toRaw(); // Get raw audio buffer
Export Options
After synthesizing speech, you can export the audio in various formats:
toBase64
: Returns the audio as a Base64 string.toFile
