flite
binding for flite, a tiny text-to-speech synthesizer
installation
$ npm install flite
also requires flite 1.4.x
(www) and either aplay
(www) or afplay
(default on OS X) to be installed and in your $PATH
.
Flite is super tiny and fast and works great on ARM (eg, robots!), and has a variety of voices available (which are compiled into the binary - you probably want to build it yourself).
example
var flite = require('flite')
var message = "you know what we need? some more waffles!"
flite(function (err, speech) {
speech.say(message, function (err) {
if (err) console.error('I\'m afraid I can\'t do that, Dave', err);
});
});
usage
var flite = require('flite')
flite([config], callback)
- config object (optional)
- callback: function (err, speech) - initializes and returns a speech object
config is an object with any of the following keys
- voice: string - the name of a voice
- ssml: boolean - treat input as ssml
speech.voices // array
array of valid voice names to use with the voice
configuration setting.
speech.config(configObj)
set configuration settings for this instance of speech
speech.say(text, [fileout], callback)
speak the given input string text
. if fileout
is specified, the wavefile will be writen to that file and not to the speakers. if fileout
is omitted, the wavefile will be played immediately. callback
is invoked after the wavefile is written or the sound is done playing.
