I'm using Polly to generate text-to-speech MP3 files. I want to add a 1-second pause to the end of each file. How would I do that?
Here's what I'm working with:
// Load the SDK
const AWS = require('aws-sdk')
const Fs = require('fs')
AWS.config.loadFromPath('config.json');
// Create an Polly client
const Polly = new AWS.Polly({
signatureVersion: 'v4',
region: 'us-east-1'
})
let params = {
'Text': "This is the string I'm converting to MP3" ,
'OutputFormat': 'mp3',
'VoiceId': 'Kimberly'
}
Polly.synthesizeSpeech(params, (err, data) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err.code)
} else if (data) {
if (data.AudioStream instanceof Buffer) {
Fs.writeFile("./myverse.mp3", data.AudioStream, function(err) {
if (err) {
return console.log(err)
}
console.log("The file was saved!")
})
}
}
})
Looks like I just needed to add the 'TextType': 'ssml'
parameter. Also, the entire string needs to be enclosed in the <speak></speak>
tags, with the pause coming between those.
