Text to Speech via HTML5 Audio

Nabil — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:42:15 +0000

Recently Google Translate announced the ability to hear translations into English spoken via text-to-speech (TTS). Looking at the Firebug Net panel for where this TTS data was coming from, I saw that the speech audio is in MP3 format and is queried via a simple HTTP GET (REST) request: http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=text. Google Translate notes that the speech is "only available for short translations to English", and it turns out that the TTS web service is restricting the text to 100 characters. Another restriction is that the service returns 404 Not Found if the request includes a Referer header (presumably one that is not for translate.google.com).

iPhone development can be intimidating, especially to someone who’s unfamiliar with Macs, or the way iPhone apps work. But with currently more than 100,000 apps officially available from the App Store, it’s kind of hard for a developer to ignore the potential market the iPhone provides.
