<?php require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php'; use Afaya\EdgeTTS\Service\EdgeTTS; // Initialize the EdgeTTS service $tts = new EdgeTTS(); // Get voices $voices = $tts->getVoices(); // var_dump($voices); // array -> use ShortName with the name of the voice // Synthesize text with options for voice, rate, volume, and pitch $tts->synthesize("Hello, world!", 'en-US-AriaNeural', [ 'rate' => '0%', // Speech rate (range: -100% to 100%) 'volume' => '0%', // Speech volume (range: -100% to 100%) 'pitch' => '0Hz' // Voice pitch (range: -100Hz to 100Hz) ]); // Export synthesized audio in different formats $base64Audio = $tts->toBase64(); // Get audio as base64 $tts->toFile("output.wav"); // Save audio to file $rawAudio = $tts->toRaw(); // Get raw audio stream
Export Options
After synthesizing speech, you can export the audio in various formats:
toBase64
: Returns the audio as a Base64 string.toFile
: Saves the audio to a specified file (e.g., "output.wav").toRaw
: Returns the raw audio stream.
