Google Cloud Text-to-Speech

Introduction

Google Cloud Text-to-Speech is a cloud-based service that allows developers to convert text into natural-sounding speech. With its advanced text-to-speech capabilities, this API enables the creation of lifelike and expressive audio output in multiple languages and voices. Some notable features of the Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API include the ability to customize speech parameters such as pitch, speed, and volume, providing fine-grained control over the generated audio. It also supports various audio formats, making it flexible for integration into different applications and platforms.

The API offers extensive language support, enabling developers to generate speech in a wide range of languages and dialects, thus catering to diverse user needs.

You can find more details and the supported operations on Google Cloud Text-to-Speech | qibb Catalog.

Importing flow examples of a node

Once you've successfully installed a node from the qibb catalog, you can easily import example flows that showcase how the nodes can be used. These example flows are directly accessible within the Flow Editor and are designed to guide users with helpful hints, including how to configure mandatory parameters and credentials.

Here's how to import examples:

1. In the top right corner of the Flow Editor, click on the menu icon.
