[Google Cloud] 文字轉語音 Cloud Text-to-Speech

Cloud Text-to-Speech
透過機器學習技術將文字轉為語音

可以先在介紹網站中試用是否符合需求。

Text to Speech 收費定價

使用方式介紹

1.在 Google Cloud Platform 建立專案

註冊 Google Cloud 帳號

建立專用專案

設定專案名稱

 2.在 API 服務面板 中啟用 Cloud Text-to-Speech API
 

進入API服務面板

進入API搜尋頁面

選擇 Cloud Text-to-Speech API

啟用 API

 3.在API 面板建立 API 金鑰

建立API Key

複製 API Key

 如果有安全性需求，可以進入 API Key 管理裡面調整可存取的 API 權限。

 4.透過Url + API Key取得語音資料

 https://texttospeech.googleapis.com/v1beta1/text:synthesize?key=API金鑰

API 使用參考

{
  "audioConfig": {
    "audioEncoding": "LINEAR16",
    "pitch": 0,
    "speakingRate": 1
  },
  "input": {
    "text": "你好"
  },
  "voice": {
    "languageCode": "cmn-CN",
    "name": "cmn-CN-Wavenet-C"
  }
}

5.解析語音資料
上一步的請求會回傳 JSON，格式如下

{  "audioContent": "UklGRqSOAABXQVZFZm10IBAAAAABA..." }

※ audioContent 內容為Wav檔案的Base64編碼 (當audioEncoding為LINEAR16)




6. Sample Code (以 Unity C# 為例)

 public IEnumerator GetWordAudio(string word, Dictionary cache, string key)
 {
  AudioClip myAudioClip;
  var url = "https://texttospeech.googleapis.com/v1beta1/text:synthesize?key=" + UnityWebRequest.EscapeURL(api_key);
  var args = new Dictionary();
  args["audioConfig"] = new Dictionary() {
   // https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/reference/rest/v1beta1/text/synthesize?apix_params=%7B%22resource%22%3A%7B%7D%7D#audioencoding
   {"audioEncoding", "LINEAR16" },
   {"pitch", 0.0f },
   {"speakingRate", 1.0f },
  };
  args["input"] = new Dictionary() {
   {"text", word }
  };
  args["voice"] = new Dictionary() {
   {"languageCode", "cmn-CN" },
   {"name", "cmn-CN-Wavenet-C" }
  };
  var postData = MiniJSON.Json.Serialize(args);
  var www = new UnityWebRequest(url, UnityWebRequest.kHttpVerbPOST);
  byte[] bodyRaw = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
  www.uploadHandler = new UploadHandlerRaw(bodyRaw);
  www.downloadHandler = new DownloadHandlerBuffer();
  www.SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
  yield return www.SendWebRequest();
  while (!www.isNetworkError && !www.isHttpError && !www.isDone)
  {
   yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
  }
  byte[] decodedBytes = null;
  try
  {
   if (www.downloadedBytes == 0) { myAudioClip = null; }
   else
   {
    var rawData = www.downloadHandler.text;
    var result = MiniJSON.Json.Deserialize(rawData) as Dictionary;
    var audioContent = result["audioContent"] as string;
    decodedBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(audioContent);
    myAudioClip = CreateAudioClipFromWaveBytes(decodedBytes, word);
   }
   www.Dispose();
  }
  catch (System.Exception err)
  {
   myAudioClip = null;
   Debug.LogWarning(err);
  }
  cache[key] = myAudioClip;
 }
