I am receiving an error with respect to a get key.
I looked at issue #17 but did not understand the context to the notification package which I did not have previously installed.
I tried to install this notification package but I did not see a change of behavior

I can not access link from module with error .
Access to translate.google.com was denied You don't have authorization to view this page.
HTTP ERROR 403

Hello zlargon,

Currently, I'm using google-tts-api in version 0.0.3, and it's no longer working, an "get key failed from google" error appears.
Does it not work in older versions?
Do we need to update to the latest version?

Thank.

can i use SSML-Tags to control the tts?
i dont see anything mentioned here...

https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/ssml

thx,

Hey Leon, I have gone through your npm package “google-tts”. It was very good and useful. I have a doubt. If I use Text to Speech from Google. I had to pay them and get credentials. How it is free in your “google-tts”. Will I get any issues in the future If I use it for a long time?

I'm using a simple script that reads out some text, using en-US as the lang. For an unknown reason the API is playing a different voice every so often.

Hi, this gave me the error

Error: get key failed from google
at [redacted]\node_modules\google-tts-api\lib\key.js:23:23

at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:189:7)

Hi!

I tried to use google-tts in my web app but when I did a request I obtained this error in the console:

Failed to load https://translate.google.com/: Redirect from 'https://translate.google.com/' to 'https://translate.google.com/m/translate' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:4200' is therefore not allowed access. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

I'm using the exact same code as I have been for the past few months, and recently have been getting a Error: get key failed from google
Any way to fix this?

hi i have been using your api and im trying to get male voices for it do u have it

is it possible to migrate this project to firebase?

I've checked the source code and found the key is requested and computed every time the function is called.

Hi, @zlargon

I noticed that there is an option regarding tts speed in the getAudioUrl file.
ttsspeed: slow ? 0.24 : 1,

I wonder if there is any way for us to assign different speeds. i.e. slow(0.25), medium(0.5), upper medium(0.75) and normal(1)

Thanks.

Thanks for the great repo, it is very useful.
I have one suggestion:
In some countries, we cannot access https://translate.google.com
It will be helpful if we support use other api host

Is it possible to add intonation like in android?
Expressive, flat

Thanks

Hi Leon

First of all thanks for your package!

recently, when installing I got a node-fetch vulnerability. See:

Have you to update the package?

see github suggestion:

Remediation
Upgrade node-fetch to version 2.6.1 or later. For example:

"dependencies": {

or…

I was wondering if it would be possible for people to choose between a female and male voice (if there is one)

As title is asking, I'm curious to see if this is free forever? I implemented it but have not seen to hit any kind of limit or anything. I'm nervous to use this in my application due to needing a billing key or something from Google.

Nothing much else to say, I don't have any errors or anything; there aren't any.

Google must have changed something as where this was working before, now it isn't.

what is the stream format of the url get by getAllAudioUrls

https://austinfrg.is-inside.me/9ADE6PrS.png
I'm getting this error every time I try to use tts, it used to work when I increased the "maxTimes" option, but it doesn't work at all now.

The sample code present in the examples is not working:

// get base64 text
googleTTS.getAudioBase64('Hello World', {
     lang: 'en-US',
     slow: false,
     host: 'https://translate.google.com',
     timeout: 10000,
})
.then(console.log) // base64 text
.catch(console.error);

Error: lang "en-US" might not exist

It successfully returned base64 output for language codes: 'en', 'es'.
en-Us, en-AU are working fine for getAudioUrl,getAllAudioUrls functions though.

This can be done by sending a request with data:

[[["MkEWBc","[[\"WORD_TO_CHECK\",\"auto\",\"TARGET_LANGUAGE\",true],[null]]",null,"generic"]]]

example result

)]}'

393
[["wrb.fr","MkEWBc","[[null,null,\"en\",[[[0,[[[null,7]\n]\n,[true]\n]\n]\n]\n,7]\n]\n,[[[null,null,null,null,null,[[\"pengujian\",[\"pengujian\"]\n]\n]\n]\n]\n,\"id\",1,\"auto\",[\"testing\",\"auto\",\"id\",true]\n]\n,\"en\",[\"testing\",null,null,[[\"test\"]\n,null,1]\n,null,null,null,null,\"en\",1]\n]\n",null,null,null,"generic"]
,["di",29]
,["af.httprm",28,"-2444905251841777356",28]
]
26
[["e",4,null,null,430]
]

where the detected language seems to be in ...[[null,null,\"en\"...

But this also mean that we need to send 2 requests, first to get the detected language, second to get the base64 data

Hi
this is not an issue, just a note.

I'm using google-tts (THANKS) in https://github.com/solyarisoftware/jointts, my work in progress package.
I also used google-tts in past an run smoothly.

recently I experiencing some errors like Error: get key failed from google (google-tts-api/lib/key.js:30:32). I presume it's a Google API reject/error. Apparently errors arise random (e.g. not related to API calls rate).

  $ jointts download gt mi chiamo Giorgio --language=it

  sentence       : mi chiamo Giorgio
  language       : it
  speed          : normal

  Error: get key failed from google
      at /home/giorgio/jointts/node_modules/google-tts-api/lib/key.js:30:32
      at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5)

Workaround (not rocket-science): because the google API raise error occasionally, I retry until I got success.
In few shots the API return success (I admit, that's dirty):

for (;;) {

  callGoogleAPI(...)

  if success 
    break

  sleep(few hundreds msecs)
}  

Any idea?

Thanks
giorgio

I tried to install it in my react-native project but it is throwing error

\node_modules\google-tts-api\dist\getAudioUrl.js: url could not be found within the project or in these directories: node_modules

var assertInputTypes_1 = __importDefault(require("./assertInputTypes")); var splitLongText_1 = __importDefault(require("./splitLongText")); var url_1 = __importDefault(require("url"));

can you help me why i am getting this error

1. Split text to parts of max 200 chars
2. Add parameters: q=<part>&total=<total parts>&idx=<part index>&textlen=<part length>

I use it with discord.js v11.6.1
How to fix this with New version 2.0.0?
Why you don't have discord server?

const tts = require("google-tts-api");

 // tts(tts1, `km`, 0.90) old version
  
tts.getAudioUrl("hello world", {
              lang: "en-US",
              slow: false,
              host: "https://translate.google.com"
            })
            .then(function(url) {
              voiceChannel.join().then(connection => {
                voice();

                function voice() {
                  const stream = connection.playStream(url);
                }
              });

.

Any text that is over 200 characters returns a URL that just 404's.

I just installed the most recent version 0.0.4 of the library and tested with my react-native sample project, it gave me this exception:
get key failed from google,
BTW, I can access this site: https://translate.google.com from my region.

So is the key expired? or I need to get my own key? or google changed their API again?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm on a fairly slow connection behind a VPN, and not always getting replies processed. Is this likely just due to my conditions or can there be other reasons?

Thanks!

What if i want to execute node file.js and listen to the output?

Hi,

I just test google-tts-api and I'm in trouble to use it.
I always get the following error: Error: get key failed from google

Is there a way to avoid that ?

I am in the last version: 0.04.

Thanks by advance

Hello 👋

I run a security community that finds and fixes vulnerabilities in OSS. A researcher (@zer0h-bb) has found a potential issue, which I would be eager to share with you.

Could you add a SECURITY.md file with an e-mail address for me to send further details to? GitHub recommends a security policy to ensure issues are responsibly disclosed, and it would help direct researchers in the future.

Looking forward to hearing from you 👍

Error: get token key failed from google

Hello,

Currently, I'm using google-tts-api in version 0.06, and it's not working as I get the "get key failed from google" error. Is there any way to solve the issue?

Thank you.

Hi, I was using google TTS API (the real one in google cloud). I saw they have gender params at here. Does this package supported?

https://github.com/Boudewijn26/gTTS-token/blob/master/docs/november-2020-translate-changes.md

It looks like Google Translate may have changed their API again?

Not works in Chrome

Fetch API cannot load https://translate.google.com/. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8080' is therefore not allowed access. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
