Rafael Keller - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable solution that is used to vocalize the text written on the API to the client
We use Google Cloud Text-to-Speech when we have an IVR and need to say something written on the API through the IVR. For example, if I'm on the IVR and need to say something to the customer that is written on the API, I need to vocalize this text. I use Google Cloud Text-to-Speech to take this text…
Abhishek-Rana - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers ease of use and the availability of documentation is great
The simplicity impressed me the most. We just needed a single API key. The documentation was also great. I developed the AI application using Unity, a game engine that uses C#. Then, I searched online for instructions on how to use it. I found Microsoft's GitHub repository, which provided the necessary code for integrating the Speech Service into Unity with C#. The ease of use and the availability of documentation made the process smooth and impressed me the most. The documentation and boilerplate code [a template of code] was available, which I incorporated into my application with modifications. Initially, the code functioned so that when a button was clicked, the microphone would activate and recognize my speech. One of the benefits was the ability to see my spoken words visually on the screen as I spoke. For example, if I said "I am Abhishek Rana," I could see the sentence appear in real-time. When I stopped speaking, it automatically recognized the silence and ceased, sending the text for further processing. So, the real-time translation feature has helped me a lot.
