I am trying to use the IBM Watson Text to Speech api through a webpage. On the webpage I have a form that takes the sentence or word the user wants to have read and a button "SPEAK!" that finalizes and reads the form input. My issue is that when I am looking in the console to make sure everything is going smoothly I see that my audio file is not being found.
App.js -- this is the code that connects to the api and then sends the synthesized code to "audioFiles/Output.ogg" where they can be accessed.
var input;
app.get("/speech", function(req, res, next) {
input = req.query.speech;
const TextToSpeechV1 = require('watson-developer-cloud/text-to-speech/v1');
const fs = require('file-system');
if(input) {
var intentValNumber = input.length;
}
console.log(intentValNumber);
if (intentValNumber > 0) {
const text_to_speech = new TextToSpeechV1({
url: "URL is here",
username: 'UserName is here',
password: 'PassWord is here',
version_date: TextToSpeechV1.VERSION_DATE_2017_04_26
});
var params = {
text: input,
voice: 'en-US_MichaelVoice',
accept: 'audio/ogg'
};
console.log(input);
// Pipe the synthesized text to a file.
text_to_speech.synthesize(params).on('error', function(error) {
console.log('Error:', error);
}).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('audioFiles/output.ogg'));
};
next();
});
speech.pug -- this is where the form and the audio should be performed.
extends layout
block content
.main.container.row
.col-md-6.col-md-offset-3
h1.display-4.m-b-2 Magic Reading!
form(method="GET" action="/speech")
div.form-group
label(for='speech') Type something to be spoken:
input#speech.form-control(type='text', placeholder='Type something to be read' name='speech')
button.btn.btn-primary(type='submit') SPEAK!
audio(controls='', autoplay='')
source(src='../audioFiles/output.ogg', type='audio/ogg')
Specific error - GET http://localhost:3000/audioFiles/output.ogg
Thanks in advance for any advice! Also let me know if anyone needs more information about the error or code.
