Action speak
The tts.speak
action is the modern way to use Google translate TTS action. Add the speak
action, select the entity for your Google translate TTS (it’s named for the language you created it with), select the media player entity or group to send the TTS audio to, and enter the message to speak.
For more options about speak
, see the Speak section on the main TTS building block page.
In YAML, your action will look like this:
action: tts.speak
target:
entity_id: tts.google_en_com
data:
media_player_entity_id: media_player.giant_tv
message: Hello, can you hear me now?
Action say (legacy)
The google_translate_say
action can be used when configuring the legacy google_translate
text-to-speech platform in configuration.yaml
. We recommend new users to instead set up the integration in the UI and use the tts.speak
action with the corresponding Google Translate text-to-speech entity as target.
The google_translate_say
action supports language
and also options
for setting tld
. The text for speech is set with message
. Since release 0.92, the action name can be defined in the configuration service_name
option.
Say to all media_player
device entities:
# Replace google_translate_say with <platform>_say when you use a different platform.
action: tts.google_translate_say
data:
entity_id: all
message: "May the force be with you."
Say to the media_player.floor
device entity:
action: tts.google_translate_say
data:
entity_id: media_player.floor
message: "May the force be with you."
Say to the media_player.floor
device entity in French:
action: tts.google_translate_say
data:
entity_id: media_player.floor
message: "Que la force soit avec toi."
language: "fr"
Say to the media_player.floor
device entity in UK English:
