Hello!

I have a list of words that I would like the app to read aloud. With Google Cloud integration, I only see transcribing an audio recording, not sounding out the texts. Is there any way or integration that I can use to do the task?

Thank you!

I think it’s not a native integration for now, but maybe you can try calling the external API of Google’s text-to-speech, see what it returns, upload the audio somewhere and return the final URL to the right row in Glide.

The integration with Google Cloud does not support text-to-speech currently. As a subscriber to Google Gemini Advanced, it would be great to leverage that platform for this need. Is anyone able to confirm that Glide does not allow for text-to-speech via Google Cloud/Gemini?

Relatedly, the integration with OpenAI does support text-to-speech, but when invoking, the following error is thrown: “Text to Speech: Error 429: Too Many Requests - { “error”: { “message”: “You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, read the docs: [https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes/api-errors.)”, “type”: “insufficient\_quota”, “param”: null, “code”: “insufficient\_quota” } }”.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on either (or both).

To be clearer, I mean using the Call API action or any methods that would allow you to call their API, either inside the app or through an automation platform like Make.

I haven’t used the OpenAI integration but if it isn’t reliable as well, I would opt for an alternative method just like above.

Do you have billing information or the appropriate plan selected with your openai account?
