Many people like to listen the news rather than reading. People while driving or doing some other task can also get the new by listining rather than reading so here come NewsAudioBook in action you can listen news jsut by tapping on the play button and this app will read news for you.

TechStack

• Flutter for making this app
• News Api for getting the recent news
• Google Text To Speech Api for converting the news text to speech.

Working

From news.dart file we make a http request to news api to get the data in the json format. Then after from voice_connection.dart file we make a post request to text-to-speech-api that seems like.

{
  "audioConfig": {
    "audioEncoding": "LINEAR16",
    "pitch": 0,
    "speakingRate": 1
  },
  "input": {
    "text": text
  },
  "voice": {
    "languageCode": "en-US",
    "name": "en-US-Wavenet-D"
  }
}

Then text-to-sppech api return a Base64 encoded audio string. Then we decode this Base64 audio to mp3 and serve to the user via player.dart file
