Sound of Text

Sound of Text gives you the ability to listen to or download audio clips generated from Google Translate directly from your browser.

Tech Stack

At minimum you need GHC and Cabal. You can install both of these with the Haskell Platform.

Or, if you're on debian Linux:

$ sudo apt-get install haskell-platform

$ git clone https://github.com/ncpierson/soundoftext.git

It is recommended that you have more than 512MB memory free for this, as cabal can be quite memory-intensive. If you don't have more than 512MB memory, [this StackOverflow link might be helpful] (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20769183/cabal-update-failed-due-to-out-of-memory).

$ cd soundoftext
$ cabal sandbox init
$ cabal install --only-dependencies
$ cabal build
$ cabal install

To run on default port (8000), run this command from the root directory:

$ soundoftext

If you would like to run on port 80, or any other port, run the command with the -p option

$ soundoftext -p 80

The executable itself is found at dist/build/soundoftext/soundoftext.

Navigate to localhost:8000 or localhost in your browser and hope that everything worked.
