[Firebot Script] Google Cloud Text-to-Speech
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.
