Google Cloud Text-to-Speech Script for Firebot

Release Overview

Initial Release! Use Google Cloud's Text-to-Speech service in Firebot to have incredible TTS quality on stream! Choose from any English (US/UK/AU/IN) WaveNet voice. With controls for Pitch and Speech Rate, you can tailor the voice to whatever you need.

Prerequisites

You must have a Google Cloud Account, and a Google Cloud API Key to use this script. Technically this is a paid service, however, each month Google will give you 1,000,000 free characters of TTS. If you exceed that, they charge USD $16 for every additional bucket of 1,000,000 characters.

The API Key may look something like: AITEwL55bWmT-zZeuiWF8o9EpruWtue7QUhMy05

Make sure you have your API Key handy, as you'll need it once you install the Script in Firebot.

How to use

  1. Download the latest googleCloudTts.js file below
  2. Add the googleCloudTts.js as a startup script in Firebot (Settings > Advanced > Startup Scripts) and enter your Google Cloud API Key
  3. Restart Firebot and enjoy! You'll see a new Effect called Google Cloud Text-to-Speech!
