Hi AHKers
Here's something I found today which does great text2speech

http://translate.google.com/translate_t ... lo%20world

It returns you an mp3 with the text transformed into a clear, friendly voice. just change around the last bit to be whatever text you need spoken.

I tink this belongs in the general section - I can't help you with this since there is no problem.

I think the "post helpful tips and tricks" is about common problems, as with the stickys.

OMG thanks for that.. I was using a 3rd party driver to snag the audio from the site before.
Used it here ( at the start )

How is that linked to the main translate page?? I dont see save as mp3 anywhere..

Much appreciated!

BTW this would make a very cool AHK project!

I've integrated your idea into something... I think it would count as help for evandevon's potential problem... how to incorporate said speech function?
This is part of my "Aaron's Super Google Search" script.

First you use FileCreateDir to make a folder in %temp% like:

Code:

FileCreateDir, %temp%\foldername ; makes folder in temp folder

Then make an input box:

Code:

Gui, Add, Edit, (size etc...) vInput ; makes search edit box

Then assign it to a control. In my case it's a button:

Code:

ButtonSpeech:
Gui, Submit, NoHide ; sends input to variable
FileDelete, %temp%\foldername\*.mp3 ; gets rid of existing speech files
UrlDownloadToFile, http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=%Input%`., %temp%\foldername\%Input%.mp3
Soundplay, %temp%\foldername\%Input%.mp3, Wait ; plays the downloaded speech file and waits for it to finish
FileDelete, %temp%\foldername\*.mp3 ; deletes sound file and is ready for new one
GoTo Next

It works very nicely in my "Aaron's Super Google Search"

I don't see HTTP:\\ in front of that address you're showing... try that?
It works for me, I've already built it into a script

Strangely, this does not seem to work in Chrome. Works with IE and firefox.

EDIT: Chrome users MUST type "HTTP://" (without quotes) into the address bar manually, unless you launch the URL from a script.

...and you need to fill in the speech end of the URL with "%20" (without the quotes) in place of spaces, or it can return an error.

I took aaronbewza's example and came up with this.
since I want to save the files and to chose the language I added one droplist.

mabye useful to some.

Code:

FileCreateDir, c:\GoogleSpeech ; makes folder in temp folder
Gui, Add, DropDownList, vLang, sv|en
Gui, Add, Edit,  (size etc...) vInput ; makes search edit box
gui, add, button, ,Speech
gui, show
ButtonSpeech:
Gui, Submit, NoHide ; sends input to variable
FileDelete, c:\GoogleSpeech\%Input%.mp3 ; gets rid of existing speech file
UrlDownloadToFile, http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=%Lang%&q=%Input%`., c:\GoogleSpeech\%Input%.mp3
Soundplay, c:\GoogleSpeech\%Input%.mp3, Wait ; plays the downloaded speech file and waits for it to finish
return

cool stuff!

I added IfInString/StringReplace for spaces and question marks so errors are minimized (and a couple more language selections), default choice is first entry:

Code:

FileCreateDir, c:\GoogleSpeech ; makes folder in temp folder
Gui, Add, DropDownList, vLang Choose1, sv|en|fr|es|de|fi|el|ja|pl|ru|uk
Gui, Add, Edit,  (size etc...) vInput ; makes search edit box
gui, add, button, Default ,Speech ; ENTER presses this button
gui, show
ButtonSpeech:
Gui, Submit, NoHide ; sends input to variable
 IfInString, Input, %A_Space% ; Looks for spaces in Input variable
  StringReplace, Input, Input, %A_Space%, `%20, All ; Replaces spaces with "%20" (html) to minimize errors from Google Translate
 IfInString, Input, `? ; Looks for question marks in Input variable
  StringReplace, Input, Input, `?, `&`#63, All ; Replaces question marks with "&#63" (html)
FileDelete, c:\GoogleSpeech\%Input%.mp3 ; gets rid of existing speech file
UrlDownloadToFile, http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=%Lang%&q=%Input%`., c:\GoogleSpeech\%Input%.mp3
Soundplay, c:\GoogleSpeech\%Input%.mp3, Wait ; plays the downloaded speech file and waits for it to finish
return
GuiClose:
ExitApp

nice, Minor change since I like to have the Mp3 name without %20 thing.

Code:

FileCreateDir, c:\GoogleSpeech ; makes folder in temp folder
Gui, Add, DropDownList, vLang Choose1, en|sv|fr|es
Gui, Add, Edit,  (size etc...) vInput ; makes search edit box
gui, add, button, Default ,Speech ; ENTER presses this button
gui, show
ButtonSpeech:
Gui, Submit, NoHide ; sends input to variable
IfInString, Input, %A_Space% ; Looks for spaces in Input variable
StringReplace, Output, Input, %A_Space%, `%20, All ; Replaces spaces with "%20" to minimize errors from Google Translate
FileDelete, c:\GoogleSpeech\%Input%.mp3 ; gets rid of existing speech file
UrlDownloadToFile, http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=%Lang%&q=%Output%`., c:\GoogleSpeech\%Input%.mp3
Soundplay, c:\GoogleSpeech\%Input%.mp3, Wait ; plays the downloaded speech file and waits for it to finish
return
GuiClose:
ExitApp

Edit: Geting some strange result when using swedish "åäö", I will look in to that later.

for å it is

`&`#229;
(escape the first two characters)

Check this out:

http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm <-- EDIT: WRONG ONES!

The page has HTML code for every character you are looking for, and considering your Input goes into a URL http address line, it would probably be a good idea to substitute the proper HTML code for all special characters.
Someone might want to find or build a "Character to HTML Converter" script?

I made a mistake on the HTML for the Question Mark... it should be
`&`#63;
not
`&`#63

sorry about that! (remember to escape the weird characters if need be)

EDIT: after much experimentation, these codes simply do not work.

Yeah I've also been looking for something like that

I think a subroutine on this script could do the HTML conversion on characters from different languages?
I'm going to start one.

EDIT: it looks like the HTML codes I mentioned do not actually work

Below in the code box is the actual table of codes to use in URL addresses (without percent signs) :

Code:

ASCII Character    URL-encoding
space    %20
!    %21
"    %22
#    %23
