LiveCode Forums

Hi,

I try to use the following in Livecode, but can not success.

put "hello word" into tpostsound
replace space with "%20" in tpostsound
put "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=" into tpostURL
post tpostsound to URL tpostURL
put it into field "abc"

in the field "abc", is nothing.

Can I use this in Livecode? or I use the wrong method to work with google TTS?

Please help.

Regards

Terry Ho

Hi terryho,
"it" will contain an error if an error occurred otherwise it will be empty.

But I think you might want speech?
Then I'd use a browser.

Edit; I did get this to work with a player object.

Is that really a post url? It looks like a "get" to me.should get you some binary data in the field. But that surely isn't going to help? (Especially not in a field - if you needed to store binary, make it a custom property).

Hi SparkOut,

You hint the point.

Now it is work, with the following code, which will save a wav file

put "hello word" into tpostsound
replace space with "%20" in tpostsound
put "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=" & tpostsound into tpostURL
get URL(tpostURL)
put it into URL ("binfile:/users/terry/abc.wav")

you can play back the abc.wav file
