This gem provides both a Ruby library and a command line interface for the
[Voicemaker][voicemaker] Text to Speech service.
This gem is not affiliated with Voicemaker.
---
## Install
```
$ gem install voicemaker
```
## Features
- Use as a Ruby library or from the command line
- Show and search for available voices
- Convert text to MP3 or WAV from a simple configuration file
- Batch-convert multiple files
## Usage
### Initialization
First, require and initialize with your Voicemaker API key:
```ruby
require 'voicemaker'
Voicemaker::API.key = 'your api key'
```
### Voices list
Get the full voices list:
```ruby
voices = Voicemaker::Voices.new
result = voices.all
```
Search the voices list for one or more strings (AND search):
```ruby
result = voices.search "en-us", "female"
```
### Audio generation and download
Make an API call and get the URL to the audio file in return:
```ruby
tts = Voicemaker::TTS.new voice: 'Jony', text: 'Hello world'
url = tts.url
tts.save "output.mp3"
```
or with the full list of available parameters:
```ruby
params = {
voice: "Jony",
output_format: "mp3",
sample_rate: 48000,
effect: "default",
master_speed: 0,
master_volume: 0,
master_pitch: 0,
text: "Hello world"
}
tts = Voicemaker::TTS.new params
url = tts.url
```
As the `voice` parameter, you may use either the voice ID (`ai3-Jony`) or the
voice web name (`Jony`). Just note that some voices have the same webname (for
example, Emily), so in these cases it is best to use the full voice ID.
