|
AudioConfig
Description of audio data to be synthesized.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
audio_encoding |
Required. The format of the audio byte stream. |
speaking_rate |
Optional. Input only. Speaking rate/speed, in the range [0.25, 4.0]. 1.0 is the normal native speed supported by the specific voice. 2.0 is twice as fast, and 0.5 is half as fast. If unset(0.0), defaults to the native 1.0 speed. Any other values < 0.25 or > 4.0 will return an error. |
pitch |
Optional. Input only. Speaking pitch, in the range [-20.0, 20.0]. 20 means increase 20 semitones from the original pitch. -20 means decrease 20 semitones from the original pitch. |
volume_gain_db |
Optional. Input only. Volume gain (in dB) of the normal native volume supported by the specific voice, in the range [-96.0, 16.0]. If unset, or set to a value of 0.0 (dB), will play at normal native signal amplitude. A value of -6.0 (dB) will play at approximately half the amplitude of the normal native signal amplitude. A value of +6.0 (dB) will play at approximately twice the amplitude of the normal native signal amplitude. Strongly recommend not to exceed +10 (dB) as there's usually no effective increase in loudness for any value greater than that. |
sample_rate_hertz |
Optional. The synthesis sample rate (in hertz) for this audio. When this is specified in SynthesizeSpeechRequest, if this is different from the voice's natural sample rate, then the synthesizer will honor this request by converting to the desired sample rate (which might result in worse audio quality), unless the specified sample rate is not supported for the encoding chosen, in which case it will fail the request and return |
effects_profile_id[] |
Optional. Input only. An identifier which selects 'audio effects' profiles that are applied on (post synthesized) text to speech. Effects are applied on top of each other in the order they are given. See audio profiles for current supported profile ids. |
AudioEncoding
Configuration to set up audio encoder. The encoding determines the output audio format that we'd like.
| Enums | |
|---|---|
AUDIO_ENCODING_UNSPECIFIED |
Not specified. Will return result google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT. |
LINEAR16 |
Uncompressed 16-bit signed little-endian samples (Linear PCM). Audio content returned as LINEAR16 also contains a WAV header. |
MP3 |
MP3 audio at 32kbps. |
OGG_OPUS |
Opus encoded audio wrapped in an ogg container. The result will be a file which can be played natively on Android, and in browsers (at least Chrome and Firefox). The quality of the encoding is considerably higher than MP3 while using approximately the same bitrate. |
MULAW |
8-bit samples that compand 14-bit audio samples using G.711 PCMU/mu-law. Audio content returned as MULAW also contains a WAV header. |
ALAW |
8-bit samples that compand 14-bit audio samples using G.711 PCMU/A-law. Audio content returned as ALAW also contains a WAV header. |
CustomVoiceParams
Description of the custom voice to be synthesized.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
model |
Required. The name of the AutoML model that synthesizes the custom voice. |
reported_usage |
Optional. Deprecated. The usage of the synthesized audio to be reported. |
ReportedUsage
Deprecated. The usage of the synthesized audio. Usage does not affect billing.
| Enums | |
|---|---|
REPORTED_USAGE_UNSPECIFIED |
Request with reported usage unspecified will be rejected. |
REALTIME |
For scenarios where the synthesized audio is not downloadable and can only be used once. For example, real-time request in IVR system. |
OFFLINE |
For scenarios where the synthesized audio is downloadable and can be reused. For example, the synthesized audio is downloaded, stored in customer service system and played repeatedly. |
ListVoicesRequest
The top-level message sent by the client for the ListVoices method.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
language_code |
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 |
ListVoicesResponse
The message returned to the client by the ListVoices method.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
voices[] |
The list of voices. |
SsmlVoiceGender
Gender of the voice as described in SSML voice element.
| Enums | |
|---|---|
SSML_VOICE_GENDER_UNSPECIFIED |
An unspecified gender. In VoiceSelectionParams, this means that the client doesn't care which gender the selected voice will have. In the Voice field of ListVoicesResponse, this may mean that the voice doesn't fit any of the other categories in this enum, or that the gender of the voice isn't known. |
MALE |
A male voice. |
FEMALE |
A female voice. |
NEUTRAL |
A gender-neutral voice. This voice is not yet supported. |
StreamingSynthesisInput
Input to be synthesized.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
Union field
|
|
text |
The raw text to be synthesized. Each input containing complete, terminating sentences will likely result in better prosody in the output audio. That said, users may input text as desired. |
StreamingSynthesizeConfig
Provides configuration information for the StreamingSynthesize request.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
voice |
Required. The desired voice of the synthesized audio. |

audio_config |
Required. The configuration of the synthesized audio. |
SynthesizeSpeechResponse
The message returned to the client by the SynthesizeSpeech method.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
audio_content |
The audio data bytes encoded as specified in the request, including the header for encodings that are wrapped in containers (e.g. MP3, OGG_OPUS). For LINEAR16 audio, we include the WAV header. Note: as with all bytes fields, protobuffers use a pure binary representation, whereas JSON representations use base64. |
Voice
Description of a voice supported by the TTS service.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
language_codes[] |
The languages that this voice supports, expressed as BCP-47 language tags (e.g. "en-US", "es-419", "cmn-tw"). |
name |
The name of this voice. Each distinct voice has a unique name. |
ssml_gender |
The gender of this voice. |

Required. Created by GenerateVoiceCloningKey. |
VoiceSelectionParams
Description of which voice to use for a synthesis request.
| Fields | |
|---|---|
language_code |
Required. The language (and potentially also the region) of the voice expressed as a BCP-47 language tag, e.g. "en-US". This should not include a script tag (e.g. use "cmn-cn" rather than "cmn-Hant-cn"), because the script will be inferred from the input provided in the SynthesisInput. The TTS service will use this parameter to help choose an appropriate voice. Note that the TTS service may choose a voice with a slightly different language code than the one selected; it may substitute a different region (e.g. using en-US rather than en-CA if there isn't a Canadian voice available), or even a different language, e.g. using "nb" (Norwegian Bokmal) instead of "no" (Norwegian)". |
name |
The name of the voice. If both the name and the gender are not set, the service will choose a voice based on the other parameters such as language_code. |
ssml_gender |
The preferred gender of the voice. If not set, the service will choose a voice based on the other parameters such as language_code and name. Note that this is only a preference, not requirement; if a voice of the appropriate gender is not available, the synthesizer should substitute a voice with a different gender rather than failing the request. |
custom_voice |
The configuration for a custom voice. If [CustomVoiceParams.model] is set, the service will choose the custom voice matching the specified configuration. |
voice_clone |
The configuration for a voice clone. If [VoiceCloneParams.voice_clone_key] is set, the service will choose the voice clone matching the specified configuration. |
