Today the English-GB voice changed to a man

Closed this issue · 9 comments

Hi, been using this node for about a year, been rock solid and had a pleasant female voice. Today the voice has changed to a man (or maybe it's a 'neutral'). Any idea what can be done to bring back the female voice?
I'm sending only ip, message and volume into the node.
Thanks

Edit: Found a workaround by changing language on the node properties from en to en-AU, but I would have preferred if en-GB could be specified as female. Doesn't look like the google-tts-api node.js library supports this.

Was thinking the same thing myself!

Have this problem too, also speech seems slowed down

This seems so be more a problem of google side as the node has no influence which voice google uses.

Yes that's exactly the case, would need to change the node to use one of the more complex speech APIs to get control over this.

It has changed back to the normal voice for me. How about you @exemmer @pcb1962 ?

Yup - she's back!

Yes, back to normal, thanks

Has remained the same since, hopefully just a slip-up at Google.
