It converts written words into audio. It accepts GET requests.

GET

q
The query string to convert to audio

tl
Translation language, for example, ar for Arabic, or en-us for English

ie
Encoding format, use default UTF-8

Examples

This is an example for Arabic "السلام عليكم"

http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&q=%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85%20%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%8A%D9%83%D9%85&tl=ar

This is an example for English "Hello World"

http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&q=Hello%20World&tl=en-us

It now returns a 503 ERROR

This works indeed: wget -q -U Mozilla -O output.mp3 "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&total=1&idx=0&textlen=32&client=tw-ob&q=Test&tl=En-gb"

i got 404 error. Although I'm just using hardly 10 characters. still it is not working.

I'm trying to get text-speech into my react app ,I've found this example [https://codesandbox.io/s/1ggs6] ,it worked fine with chrome and edge,otherwise on Firefox it can't read more than 2 languages US-english ,I just want the german language.
Any idea on how to fix it ?

tl=en
If it is not lowercase it fails for me

I created a Python package for this purpose. You can find it here:
