Italian voices it-IT-Wavenet-D

Google Cloud Build with AI AI APIs

Italian voices (like it-IT-Wavenet-D and others) have been replaced with decidedly less professional voices.
I need wavenet-D voices to make changes to an existing project!
How can I do this?

Hi simula,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

Instead of using the console method, you can try the Cloud Shell method.I tried replicating the issue and successfully generated audio in a Wavenet voice using the Cloud Shell terminal with the parameters languageCode: “it-IT” and name: “it-IT-Wavenet-D”.

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Goog-User-Project: $(gcloud config list --format='value(core.project)')" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
--data '{
"input": {
  "text": "Il gatto si è seduto sul tappetino, è felice, corre veloce e mangiamo il pranzo"
},
"voice": {
  "languageCode": "it-IT",
  "name": "it-IT-Wavenet-D" 
},
"audioConfig": {
  "audioEncoding": "MP3"
}
}' "https://texttospeech.googleapis.com/v1/text:synthesize" > synthesize-text.txt

cat synthesize-text.txt | grep 'audioContent' | \
sed 's|audioContent| |' | tr -d '\n ":{},' > tmp.txt && \a
base64 tmp.txt --decode > synthesize-text-audio.mp3 && \
rm tmp.txt

You can also follow these steps to convert text to synthetic voice audio, including how to decode the results from the Text-to-Speech API.

Additionally, you can refer to this documentation on supported voices and languages.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I can reproduce the voice, but my problem is that it is completely different from the one generated a year ago, so I can’t change only some parts of a big work done previously.
