How can we use Google Translate API for text to speech conversion?

We can use the Google Translate API for text to speech conversion:

https://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&tl=en&q=

We need to URL-encode the text that we want to convert to speech and append it to the above URL. To build an audio control for it, we may need:

<audio src=“” class=“speech” hidden></audio>
$(‘audio’).attr(‘src’,url).get(0).play();

How can I change the Voice & Rate of Speech on my Macbook Pro?

1. Open System Preferences from the  Apple menu and choose “Dictation & Speech”

How can I use the Text To Speech functionality on my Macbook Pro from the command line?

Launch the Terminal app, found within /Applications/Utilities, and type the ‘say’ command followed by a word or phrase, like so:

say hello I love osxdaily.com

The terminal is a bit more powerful than the standard text-to-speech engine though, and you can easily specify a new voice by using the -v flag, followed by the voicename as it’s labeled in OS X. For example, to use the ‘agnes’ voice:

say -v agnes "this sure is a fancy voice! well maybe not, but I do love osxdaily.com"

Rate of speech can be adjusted with -r like so:

say -v Samantha -r 2000 "Hello I like to talk super fast"

How can I use the Text To Speech functionality of my Macbook Pro to read the content of a text file from command line?

say -f filename.txt

1. Launch System Preferences from the  Apple menu and click on “Speech”
2. Click the “Text to Speech” tab and then click the pulldown menu next to “System Voice”
3. Choose “Customize” from the dropdown menu
4. Check the box next to “Samantha”, a notification will be added to the window saying the voice will be automatically downloaded, click “OK” to start the voice download
5. Confirm at the next screen to install the Samantha voice by clicking “Install”
6. When finished, verify that the voice is selected to use it as your default text to speech voice in Mac OS X, click “Play” to hear the voice sample

How can I make my Macbook Pro sing?
