The `google` text-to-speech platform uses [Google Text-to-Speech engine](https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/speech.googleapis.com/overview) Text-to-Speech engine to read a text with natural sounding voices.
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To enable text-to-speech with Google, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
tts:
- platform: google
```
{% configuration %}
language:
description: "The language to use."
required: false
type: string
default: "`en`"
{% endconfiguration %}
Check the [complete list of supported languages](https://translate.google.com/intl/en_ALL/about/languages/) (languages where "Talk" feature is enabled in Google Translate) for allowed values.
Use the 2 digit language code which you can find at the end of url when you click on Language name.
## {% linkable_title Full configuration example %}
A full configuration sample including optional variables:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
tts:
- platform: google
language: 'de'
```
If you are using SSL certificate or Docker, you may need to add the `base_url` configuration variable to your `http` component as follows:
```yaml
#Example configuration.yaml entry
http:
base_url: example.duckdns.org
```
The `base_url` configuration variable was added in 0.35.1, so make sure your Home Assistant version is **0.35.1 or above.**
