The Unofficial Google Text to Speech API

Yesterday TechCrunch published an article noting that an “unofficial” google text-to-speech API had been exposed. Naturally, I jumped right on top of playing around with it. Here’s a simple little Flex application that will plug you directly into the text-to-speech API.

Update #1: Apparently translate.google.com doesn’t have a valid cross-domain policy file, so unfortunately this app won’t work through my blog. I have, however, made the source available for download so all of you crafty devs can play with it anyway.

Update #2: Apparently a policy file has been created! Now the application works! The source is still available for download.
