Project Status

This was always using an undocumented API, seems that the underlying APIs have changed so this no longer works. The endpoint used to be at https://streamlabs.com/polly/speak, if anyone knows if there's an updated URL feel free to open an issue.

tts

A CLI tool to interact with the StreamLabs Text-To-Speech API endpoint.

Usage

Usage:  tts [-h] [-v VOICE] [-d FILENAME|-p] <text_to_speak>...
Converts text to speech using the StreamLabs API
Any other positional arguments are interpreted as the text input
If no text is present, reads from STDIN

   -h           Prints this help message and exits
   -v VOICE     Change the voice used for TTS
   -l           List available voices
   -d FILENAME  Download the .mpeg file to FILENAME.mpeg [default]
   -p           Instead of downloading, print the audio URL

Examples

# basic examples
echo "hello mr streamer" | tts
tts 'O, o. .O, o.'
tts -v Emma 'what?'  # use a different voice

# save to filepath, and play after its downloaded. uses paplay, but mpv/vlc could also be used
echo 'Does this work? NO? .OK.' | tts -d /tmp/sound.mpeg && plaympeg /tmp/sound.mpeg

Notes

Converted to a nicer interface from the one liner found here.
