Text-to-Speech API

This is a simple Text-to-Speech API using Flask and the Google Text-to-Speech (gTTS) library.

Installation

1. Install the required packages:

pip install Flask gTTS

Usage

1. Run the app.py file:

python app.py

The API will be available at: http://localhost:8089/tts

2. To use the API, make a POST request with a form containing the 'text' parameter.

Example using cURL:

curl -X POST -F "text=Hello, World!" http://localhost:8089/tts --output output.mp3

This will generate an output.mp3 file with the spoken text.

API Endpoint

• POST /tts

  Convert the input text to speech.

  • Form parameters:

    • text (required): The text to be converted to speech.

  • Returns:

    • A response with the audio/mpeg content type containing the generated speech as an MP3 file.

  • Error handling:

    • If the 'text' parameter is missing in the request form, the API will return a 400 status code with the message "Missing 'text' parameter in request form".
    • If the input text is empty or contains only whitespace, the API will return a 400 status code with the message "Input text cannot be empty".
