Your name in Japanese
Raw
README.md

Ever want to hear your name in Japanese? Now you can!

Steps (to download the mp3):

  1. Visit https://translate.google.com/#auto/ja and type in your name

  2. Click the audio icon to hear what your name sounds like in Japanese (yay!)

  3. [cmd] + [option] + j (in Chrome) to open the console, and click the Network tab.

  4. Make sure All is selected for request types, and type translate_tts in the search bar

  5. When you click the audio icon in the regular page again, you'll see the URL come up in the console that has your translation mp3. Right click it and click Open Link in New Tab to get your link. Feel free to save this page.

Note: You might want to change the ttsspeed=0.24 part of the URL to ttsspeed=1.0 to get a nicer speech speed.

h/t @xavier for the help w/ this one
