Text To Speech Integration (TTS)

Bright Pattern integrates with text-to-speech (TTS) providers IBM Watson and Google Cloud for creating voice prompts. When text-to-speech functionality is enabled, call prompts may use a variety of pre-recorded voices, accents, and languages to automate responses.

Watson Properties

After you add this TTS account, the Properties dialog will appear. In Properties, you enter the credentials of your Watson Text-to-Speech service.

Watson TTS integration properties

URL

Your unique IBM Text to Speech service instance URL in the following format:

https://api.{location}.text-to-speech.watson.cloud.ibm.com/instances/{instance id}

For example:

https://api.us-south.text-to-speech.watson.cloud.ibm.com/instances/0123a4c0-5d67-8cec-9c10-a0cdbb1234b5

You can find the URL in your Text to Speech service credentials. You must get the URL from your service credentials on IBM Cloud.

Authentication method

API key

The API key (string) for your IBM Text to Speech service instance, which is used for making secure, authenticated requests to IBM Cloud APIs. You can find the API key in your Text to Speech service credentials.

Load Voices

Allows you to choose a voice type from a preconfigured list of IBM voice models. After clicking Load Voices, wait a few minutes for confirmation that the voices have loaded. If the field still says "empty", wait a few more minutes and try again.

Test Connection

Tests the connection between Bright Pattern and IBM. When testing the connection, if the account has been configured correctly, you will see the message, "Account credentials appear to be valid."


Google Cloud Properties

After you add this TTS account, the Properties dialog will appear. In Properties, you enter the credentials of your Google Cloud Text-to-Speech service.

Please note: Google TTS requires a payment method to be attached to the account; without this, the TTS service would silently not work, and there would be an error in the Google API dashboard.
