Using the audioClip namespace of the Sonos Control API to build a TTS app

Sonos TTS Using audioClip

This project was built with React Express Starter. Then Sonos-specific interfaces were built, and back-end server endpoints to invoke them.

Read more about this project on the Sonos Developer Blog.

In a nutshell, we're using the audioClips namespace commands in the Sonos Control API to play speech. This speech was created using Google Translate's text to speech API.

To use this app, you'll need to get an API key from the Sonos Developer Portal. Create an account there, then create a new Control Integration. You can read more about getting started with Control Integrations here.

Using this project

Clone the project, change into the directory and install the dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/sonos/sonos-audioclip-tts.git
cd sonos-audioclip-tts
npm install

Copy the .env.example file to an .env file. Enter your API key and secret, obtained above, in that new .env file.

Run both the server and front-end applications together with the command:

npm run dev

The React application will run on port 3000 and the server port 3001.
