Is that possible using TTS in a streaming way? Text to speech continuously?

[luizcalaca]

The questions refers is possible to get the text and already building the audio output in a streaming way? In STT we have some streaming functions but I can't find one in the TTS Google documentation.

Hi @luizcalaca, 

Welcome and thank you for reaching out to our community.

I get that you wanted to utilize our Text-to-Speech service in a streaming manner but for now this is not possible for TTS alone. You may need to study and integrate multiple APIs to achieve this use case.

Let me share with you some useful resources to assist with your research.

• Stream changes to data in near real-time with Datastream
• Create long-form audio
• Convert text to synthetic voice audio
• Supported voices and languages
• How to upload Google Cloud text to speech API's response to Cloud Storage [Node.js]  

Another option is to submit this as an issue or feature request or you can also reach out to Cloud Text-to-Speech support for better assistance.
