|
A text-to-speech (TTS) entity enables Home Assistant to speak to you.
|
|
|
|
A text-to-speech entity is derived from the [`homeassistant.components.tts.TextToSpeechEntity`](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/tts/__init__.py).
|
|
|
|
## Properties
|
|
|

Properties should always only return information from memory and not do I/O (like network requests).

## Methods
|
|
|
|
### Get supported voices
|
|
|
|
This method is used to return a list of supported voices for a language of a TTS service.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class MyTextToSpeechEntity(TextToSpeechEntity):
|
|
"""Represent a Text To Speech entity."""
|
|
|
|
@callback
|
|
def async_get_supported_voices(self, language: str) -> list[str] | None:
|
|
"""Return a list of supported voices for a language."""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get TTS audio
|
|
|
|
The get tts audio method is used to generate an audio file from a text message using a TTS service.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class MyTextToSpeechEntity(TextToSpeechEntity):
|
|
"""Represent a Text To Speech entity."""
|
|
|
|
def get_tts_audio(
|
|
self, message: str, language: str, options: dict[str, Any]
|
|
) -> TtsAudioType:
|
|
"""Load tts audio file from the engine."""
|
|
|
|
async def async_get_tts_audio(
|
|
self, message: str, language: str, options: dict[str, Any]
|
|
) -> TtsAudioType:
|
|
"""Load tts audio file from the engine."""
|
|
```
