The `watson_tts` text-to-speech platform that works with [IBM Watson Cloud](https://www.ibm.com/watson/services/text-to-speech/) to create the spoken output.
|
||||||
|
Polly is a paid service via IBM Cloud but there is a decent [free tier](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/watson-text-to-speech/pricing) which offers 10000 free characters every month.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## {% linkable_title Setup %}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For supported formats and voices please go to [IBM Cloud About section](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/text-to-speech?topic=text-to-speech-about#about).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To get started please read the [Getting started tutorial](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/text-to-speech?topic=text-to-speech-gettingStarted#gettingStarted).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To configure Watson TTS, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||||
|
tts:
|
||||||
|
- platform: watson_tts
|
||||||
|
watson_apikey: YOUR_GENERATED_APIKEY
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can get these tokens after you generated the credentials on the IBM Cloud console:
