Hi all,

I am studying chinese language and want to be able to download sounds so I can then upload them to my flash card player. Is anyone able to help show me how I would maybe enter either chinese characters/pinyin somewhere and then be able to download the mp3?

Would really appreaciate your help – I’m no coder by the way.

Cheers

Anybody knows if they plan to publish the tts libraries to use in a PC program? that would be awesome for me.. TTS voices a either bad sounding or too expensive.

Hi, pretty cool workaround. I'm giving it a try but doesn't work on Google Chrome under Linux. Looking at the request I can see your sending the referer, so Google throws a 404.

Sorry.
I havd a mistake. Please use ‘zh_CN’ or ‘zh_TW’ as language code if you use Chinese.
And you can use the original characters after ‘q=’ .

Hi, Sean.

http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=zh_CN&q=%E4%BD%A0%E5%A5%BD%E3%80%82%E6%82%A8%E4%B9%9F%E5%8F%AF%E4%BB%A5%E8%AE%B2%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E3%80%82

You can use Google Text-To-Speech in Chinese with ‘zh-CN’.
Please try it.

If you are living in Taiwan, you should use ‘zh-TW’.

I would like to hear the audio from chinese (CN) when I type in a word. The question is do they use some sort of pinyin code like putting a number at the end for the tone (yi1, yi2, yi3, yi4) or does the actual chinise character need to be typed in the address bar? How do they file their chinese words? Can they be accessed?
