Is there a way to use this in nodered?

[JuniorGamingTime]

I used to use an old google-tts but I'm getting alot of "get key failed from google" and reading around it seem like the node i use is out of date with the new Google tts changes.
So wanted to know is this could maybe replace it.

Yes, this library should be able to be used as a replacement for google-tts. Though, it is missing some features such as the "slow" flag.

The biggest difference is that this library returns a Buffer full of the mp3 audio data, and google-tts returns a url.

How would I install it? I'm using docker for nodered. And the mp3 shouldn't be an issue hopefully

You should be able to install it the same way that you installed google-tts. Assuming you are using npm or yarn:

npm install ncpierson/google-translate-tts

or

yarn add ncpierson/google-translate-tts

I tried installing it and it doesn't show up in the pallet (tried both and restarted too)

Ah, sorry, I'm not familiar with Node Red. It looks like me (or someone) would need to publish this package to Node Red.

I now see your Issue filed in the original google tts package: DeanCording/node-red-contrib-google-tts#7

I'll see what I can do about node red.

edit: to clarify, this doesn't currently work with nodered, but I'll look into it.

That would be amazing. I use it alot for my streams for a few things, and we've missed the fun with had with tts. Thanks alot in advance

Hey @JuniorGamingTime , I just added this library to Node RED. Could you try it out and let me know if it is working for you?

[florabtw]

Closing this issue since it seems to be working.

[JuniorGamingTime]

Sorry to reopen a old issues but seems like the TTS node is not working at all this time. i get no errors or anything now.
Nothing from the last setup has changed, it just stopped working like 2 days ago.

Hi @JuniorGamingTime , this is a known issue. It's not specific to NodeRED. Google changed the voice parameter to accept different values, and it broke the library.

[JuniorGamingTime]

Are you working on an update? If its possible. Ill try an look for an alternative. I use this node alot on my streams so wanna try and get something working on the mean time.
