How Does API Work?

The process to generate an audio file for the text input is:
  • Post the request by:
    • Enter the valid REV-APPNAME, REV-APP-ID, and REV-API-KEY.
    • Enter the text for which you want to obtain the speech.
    • Select the output voice type (either male voice or the female voice) of the audio file.
    • Define the SSML Code, if required.
  • By default, the API will return the WAV audio file with a sampling rate of 22.05KHz.

Request

​
text or ssml
string/array
required
  • The plain text or SSML input to synthesize an audio output.
  • If you want to follow W3 standards, the ssml field must be used and not the text field.
  • For SSML input Refer to the SSML Tags
​
speed
float

  • Note: By default, speed = 1 (normal speed).
​
pitch
float
  • Speaking pitch, in the range Allows values: from -3 up tp 3. 3 indicates an increase of 3 semitones from the original pitch. -3 indicates a decrease of 3 semitones from the original pitch.
  • Note: By default, the pitch = 0 (zero)
​
sample_rate
integer
  • The sampling rate (in hertz) to synthesize the audio output. Refer to Supporting Sampling Rate section, to know the supporting audio sample rates.

Handling Error

The TTS API raises exceptions for many reasons, such as failed conversions, invalid parameters, authentication errors, and network unavailability. It will provide more specific machine-readable messages with an error response so that users can react to errors more effectively. Refer to API Codes to view the list of error messages and its description.
