Introduction

Are you looking to add text-to-speech functionality to your Ionic 6 application? Look no further than the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template. This template is a powerful tool that allows you to convert written text into a natural-sounding voice output. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of setting up and using the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template in your Ionic 6 application.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following installed:

• Node.js and npm (the package manager for Node.js)
• Ionic CLI (the command-line interface for Ionic)
• A code editor or IDE (such as Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ)

Step 1: Install the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template

To install the template, open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

ionic start gpt-talk-text-to-voice starter

This will create a new Ionic 6 project with the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template. Once the project is created, navigate to the project directory:

cd gpt-talk-text-to-voice

Step 2: Install the Required Dependencies

To use the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template, we need to install the following dependencies:

• gpt-talk: a package that provides the text-to-speech functionality
• ionic-native: a package that provides native integrations for Ionic

Install the dependencies by running the following command:

npm install gpt-talk ionic-native

Step 3: Configure the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template

To use the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template, we need to configure it. Open the app.module.ts file and add the following code:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { IonicModule } from '@ionic/angular';
import { GptTalkTextToVoice } from './gpt-talk-text-to-voice';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    IonicModule.forRoot(),
    GptTalkTextToVoice
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

This code imports the GptTalkTextToVoice module and adds it to the application module.

Step 4: Use the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template

To use the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template, create a new component (such as home.page.ts) and add the following code:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { GptTalkTextToVoice } from '../gpt-talk-text-to-voice';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-home',
  template: '<button (click)=" speakText()">Speak Text</button>'
})
export class HomePage {
  constructor(private gptTalkTextToVoice: GptTalkTextToVoice) {}

  speakText() {
    const text = 'Hello, world!';
    this.gptTalkTextToVoice.speak(text);
  }
}

This code creates a new component with a button that, when clicked, will speak the text "Hello, world!".

Step 5: Add the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template to Your Ionic App

To add the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template to your Ionic app, navigate to the app.component.ts file and add the following code:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { GptTalkTextToVoice } from './gpt-talk-text-to-voice';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: '<app-home></app-home>'
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(private gptTalkTextToVoice: GptTalkTextToVoice) {}
}

This code adds the GptTalkTextToVoice module to the application component.

Step 6: Run the Application

To run the application, navigate to the project directory and run the following command:

ionic serve

This will start the application in your default browser. Click the button in the application to hear the text "Hello, world!" spoken.

That's it! You have successfully set up and used the GPT Talk - Text to Voice | App Template in your Ionic 6 application.
