AzureTTS
AzureTTS is a Ruby gem that provides an interface to Microsoft Azure's Text-to-Speech service. It allows you to convert text to speech and save it as an audio file or integrate it with Rails' Active Storage.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'azure_tts'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install azure_tts
Usage
Use the AzureTTS::Client to generate a speech file:
# config/initializers/azure_tts.rb
AzureTTS.configure do |config|
config.region = "your_azure_region"
config.api_key = "your_azure_api_key"
end
client = AzureTTS::Client.new
client.speak_file("Hello, world!", "output.wav", {gender: :female, name: 'en-US-JennyNeural', language: 'en-US'})
Setup Active Storage in the Model
class MyModel < ApplicationRecord
has_one_attached :audio_file
end
my_model = MyModel.new
client.speak_to_active_storage("Hello, world!", my_model.audio_file, {gender: :female, name: 'en-US-JennyNeural', language: 'en-US'})
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
