Quickstart: Synthesize speech in JavaScript on Node.js.

This sample demonstrates how to synthesize speech with the Speech SDK for JavaScript on Node.js.

Prerequisites

• A subscription key for the Speech service. See Try the speech service for free.
• A Node.js compatible device.

Prepare the sample

• Download the sample code to your development PC.
• Open a command prompt at the quickstart directory, and run npm install to install the dependencies of the quickstart. This will place the Speech SDK library in the node_modules directory.
• Update the index.js file with your configuration:
  • Replace the string YourSubscriptionKey with your own subscription key.
  • Replace the string YourServiceRegion with the service region of your subscription. For example, replace with westus if you are using the 30-day free trial subscription.
  • Replace the string YourAudioFile.wav with a path you desire.

Run the sample

Execute node index.js from the location where you have downloaded this quickstart.
