Modify the speech rate ?

[damanujan]

hi,

Is it possible to change the speech rate ?

[GregoryPotdevin]

Just tested in french, I find the speech rate very low. Not sure if it's better in other languages.

I also use it in French.
It's a bit too slow.

Not sure where the problem is. The speed is set to 1 in the code :
https://github.com/noelportugal/google-home-notifier/blob/master/google-home-notifier.js#L36

googletts(text, language, 1)

I'll see if I can generate the mp3 file on my computer to compare the speed

The french audio generated by Google Translate is a bit slow and sounds exactly like what I get on Google Home.
Might be worth doing a pull request to add speed configuration.
