Class TextToSpeechClient (2.2.1)

public class TextToSpeechClient implements BackgroundResource

Service Description: Service that implements Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API.

This class provides the ability to make remote calls to the backing service through method calls that map to API methods. Sample code to get started:


 try (TextToSpeechClient textToSpeechClient = TextToSpeechClient.create()) {
   String languageCode = "languageCode-2092349083";
   ListVoicesResponse response = textToSpeechClient.listVoices(languageCode);
 }
 

Note: close() needs to be called on the TextToSpeechClient object to clean up resources such as threads. In the example above, try-with-resources is used, which automatically calls close().

The surface of this class includes several types of Java methods for each of the API's methods:

  1. A "flattened" method. With this type of method, the fields of the request type have been converted into function parameters. It may be the case that not all fields are available as parameters, and not every API method will have a flattened method entry point.
  2. A "request object" method. This type of method only takes one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call. Not every API method will have a request object method.
  3. A "callable" method. This type of method takes no parameters and returns an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service.

See the individual methods for example code.

Many parameters require resource names to be formatted in a particular way. To assist with these names, this class includes a format method for each type of name, and additionally a parse method to extract the individual identifiers contained within names that are returned.

This class can be customized by passing in a custom instance of TextToSpeechSettings to create(). For example:

To customize credentials:


 TextToSpeechSettings textToSpeechSettings =
     TextToSpeechSettings.newBuilder()
         .setCredentialsProvider(FixedCredentialsProvider.create(myCredentials))
         .build();
 TextToSpeechClient textToSpeechClient = TextToSpeechClient.create(textToSpeechSettings);
 

To customize the endpoint:


 TextToSpeechSettings textToSpeechSettings =
     TextToSpeechSettings.newBuilder().setEndpoint(myEndpoint).build();
 TextToSpeechClient textToSpeechClient = TextToSpeechClient.create(textToSpeechSettings);

Constructors

TextToSpeechClient(TextToSpeechSettings settings)

protected TextToSpeechClient(TextToSpeechSettings settings)

Constructs an instance of TextToSpeechClient, using the given settings. This is protected so that it is easy to make a subclass, but otherwise, the static factory methods should be preferred.

listVoices(ListVoicesRequest request)

public final ListVoicesResponse listVoices(ListVoicesRequest request)

Returns a list of Voice supported for synthesis.

Sample code:


 try (TextToSpeechClient textToSpeechClient = TextToSpeechClient.create()) {
   ListVoicesRequest request =
       ListVoicesRequest.newBuilder().setLanguageCode("languageCode-2092349083").build();
   ListVoicesResponse response = textToSpeechClient.listVoices(request);
 }
 
Parameter
NameDescription
requestListVoicesRequest

The request object containing all of the parameters for the API call.

Returns
TypeDescription
ListVoicesResponse

listVoices(String languageCode)

public final ListVoicesResponse listVoices(String languageCode)

Returns a list of Voice supported for synthesis.

Sample code:


 try (TextToSpeechClient textToSpeechClient = TextToSpeechClient.create()) {
   String languageCode = "languageCode-2092349083";
   ListVoicesResponse response = textToSpeechClient.listVoices(languageCode);
 }
 
Parameter
NameDescription
languageCodeString

Optional. Recommended. BCP-47 language tag. If not specified, the API will return all supported voices. If specified, the ListVoices call will only return voices that can be used to synthesize this language_code. For example, if you specify "en-NZ", all "en-NZ" voices will be returned. If you specify "no", both "no-\*" (Norwegian) and "nb-\*" (Norwegian Bokmal) voices will be returned.

Returns
