Rust Text-to-Speech Application

This is a simple Rust application that converts text into speech using Google Translate's Text-to-Speech service and plays the generated audio through the default audio output device on your system. The application utilizes the rodio crate for audio playback and communicates with the TTS service using HTTP requests.

Features

  • Convert text to speech using Google Translate's TTS service.
  • Play the generated audio through the default audio output device.
  • Support for both direct text input and file-based TTS playback.
  • Graceful termination using Ctrl+C signal handler.

Prerequisites

  • Rust programming language: Install Rust
  • Dependencies: rodio, cpal, ctrlc, base64, urlencoding, ureq (specified in Cargo.toml)

Usage

  1. Clone this repository:
   git https://github.com/icsboyx/rust_tts.git
   cd rust-tts-app
  1. Build and run the application:
    cargo build; cargo run
  1. Follow the on-screen instructions to input text for text-to-speech conversion. Press Ctrl+C to terminate the application.

Configuration

The application uses Google Translate's TTS service for audio generation. If you encounter issues or want to customize the service, refer to the tts.rs module.

    let tts_lang = "it"; // default language
    let tts_slow = "false"; // default fast
    let tts_tld = "it"; // default top domain (TLD)
