Godot Text to Speech

Instructions

Once the plugin is installed the node types TextToSpeech1D, TextToSpeech2D & TextToSpeech3D should appear in the Godot engine. Add one of them to your scene and use the example below as a guideline.

extends Node2D

func _ready():
    await $TextToSpeech1.say("Text to speech is a really neat thing.")
    await $TextToSpeech2.say("We can also speak in different voices.", "cmu_us_slt")
    await $TextToSpeech1.say("And slower too.", "cmu_us_awb", 0.75)
    $TextToSpeech1.say("And we can both speak at the same time.", "cmu_us_fem")
    $TextToSpeech2.say("And we can both speak at the same time.", "cmu_us_eey")

Keep in mind

• The current implementation is intended to have a small number of TextToSpeech1D/2D/3D nodes as the dynamic library and the voice file is loaded for each instance
• Voices for this text to speech plugin are located under addons/text_to_speech/voices/. The voices are .flitevox voices renamed to .flitevox.res to be treated by Godot as resources. Additional voices can be added to this directory and used with this plugin.
• It is a good practice to only keep the voices you use in the game, as all .flitevox.res files in the directory are shipped with the game and extracted to user:// at runtime.
