Hi there!

I am creating this app for a language learner. I have a list of words. I would like to embed a button that can sound out the pronunciation of the words. Google cloud at first seems to be helpful but it actually does speech to text. Does anyone have any idea of how I can do text to speech (preferably using google translator)?

Thank you!

I saw someone on here say Google Cloud, but I’m not sure how to actually set it up within Glide after I get the API key.

People discussed a bit about it here, but at the moment I don’t think we have any direct solutions within Glide. You most likely have to call an external API to do it yourself.

Looks like that new “Call API” would work in some form

As long as you find a way to configure the right call, with a static auth header, it would work.
