Narakeet Text to Speech Streaming API example in Node.js

This repository provides a quick example demonstrating how to access the Narakeet streaming Text to Speech API from Node.js.

The example sends a request to generate audio from text and saves it to output.mp3 in the local directory.

Note that Narakeet also has a text to speech API to generate long content, suitable for larger conversion tasks.

Prerequisites

This example works with Node.js 18 and later (uses built-in fetch). You can run it inside Docker (then it does not require a local Node.js installation), or on a system with Node.js 18 or later.

Running the example

1. Set and export a local environment variable called NARAKEET_API_KEY, containing your API key.
2. Optionally modify the voice and text parameters in tts.mjs, which control the text to speech synthesis voice and the text sent to the API for synthesis.
3. To run inside docker, execute make run
4. Or to run outside docker, on a system with node, execute node tts.mjs
