Try Azure Speech-To-Text Speech APIs via Node.js

Install

0. Install the latest stable version of Node.js (version 0.10.x).

1. $ git clone https://github.com/swells/text-to-speech.git

2. $ cd text-to-speech

3. $ npm install

Configure

Before you run the example you must add your credentials here in tts.js:

CLIENT_ID    = '{{ PUT YOUR USER ID HERE }}'
SUBSCRIPTION = '{{ PUT YOUR SpeechAPI Subscription HERE }}'

I not confident that the CLIENT_ID is needed or not? The SUBSCRIPTION however is a must. You can get your subscription key by:

1. Sign up to use the Speech APIs
2. Login into the Azure portal
3. Navigate to: MARKETPLACE-->SpeechAPIs-->Dashboard-->Subscription

Usage

$ node tts.js

This will write out a file called speech.wav. Open speech.wav and you should hear the speech in English:
