### Installation
To begin, install the preferred dependency manager for PHP, [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).
Now to install just this component:
```sh
$ composer require google/cloud-text-to-speech
```
Or to install the entire suite of components at once:
```sh
$ composer require google/cloud
```
### Authentication
Please see our [Authentication guide](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php/blob/master/AUTHENTICATION.md) for more information
on authenticating your client. Once authenticated, you'll be ready to start making requests.
### Sample
```php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use Google\Cloud\TextToSpeech\V1\AudioConfig;
use Google\Cloud\TextToSpeech\V1\AudioEncoding;
use Google\Cloud\TextToSpeech\V1\SynthesisInput;
use Google\Cloud\TextToSpeech\V1\TextToSpeechClient;
use Google\Cloud\TextToSpeech\V1\VoiceSelectionParams;
$textToSpeechClient = new TextToSpeechClient();
$input = new SynthesisInput();
$input->setText('Japan\'s national soccer team won against Colombia!');
$voice = new VoiceSelectionParams();
$voice->setLanguageCode('en-US');
$audioConfig = new AudioConfig();
$audioConfig->setAudioEncoding(AudioEncoding::MP3);
$resp = $textToSpeechClient->synthesizeSpeech($input, $voice, $audioConfig);
file_put_contents('test.mp3', $resp->getAudioContent());
```
### Version
This component is considered beta. As such, it should be expected to be mostly
stable and we're working towards a release candidate. We will address issues
and requests with a higher priority.
