SoundVM

Sound Voice-Message Collection

About

This is a small audio collection and associated tiny JavaScript library (for use in the Browser in combination with a player library like Howler) to play particular sound voice messages in a HTML5 Single-Page-Application (SPA).

All sounds were electronically generated with the permissive VoiceMaker Text-to-Speech (TTS) service. Check the soundvm.d/*.txt files for the particular origin and license information details for each audio file. To easily give proper credit and to comply with the licenses SoundVM provides an assembled form of all origin and license information via its API.

For convenience reasons SoundVM provides both individual audio files soundvm.d/*.mp3 and an "all-in-one" audio sprite soundvm.data-sprite.mp3. Both can be directly used with the Howler API.

Installation

$ npm install soundvm

Usage

const Howler  = require("howler")
const SoundVM = require("soundvm")

const soundvm = new SoundVM()
const about   = soundvm.attrib()

const vm = new Hower({ ...soundvm.config("time-left-3m-en"), preload: true })
vm.play()

const vm = new Hower({ ...soundvm.config(), preload: true })
vm.play("time-left-3m-en")
