How to read Chinese?

[wangrongding]

Reading Chinese will be garbled

[wangrongding]

eg. 我想吃饭 -> %E6%88%91%E6%83%B3%E5%90%83%E9%A5%AD

Works fine for me.

const say = require('say')
say.export("出租汽车", 'Ting-Ting', 1, 'taxi.wav', (err) => {
  if (err) {
    return console.error(err)
  }

  console.log('Text has been saved to taxi.wav.')
})

On Windows you need to change the terminal encoding to UTF8.

1. Run chcp on the terminal to see the current encoding.
2. Run chcp 65001 to change the encoding to UTF8.
   Then re-execute the JS file.

Example:
chcp 65001 && node demo.js

Sorry, I am not sure, the say.js is embeded in the plugin I needed, so that it will always reset to chcp 936 when running. I'll see if I can make it work in this way.

on Windows, open a powershell terminal, and input following command

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Speech
$NewMessage = New-Object System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer
$NewMessage.GetInstalledVoices() | select -ExpandProperty VoiceInfo | select Name, Gender, Description

Then you can get following result

Name Gender Description

---

Microsoft David Desktop Male Microsoft David Desktop - English (United States)
Microsoft Zira Desktop Female Microsoft Zira Desktop - English (United States)
Microsoft Hanhan Desktop Female Microsoft Hanhan Desktop - Chinese (Taiwan)

choose one of voice above.

in your code, you can use say.speak('中文測試', 'Microsoft Hanhan Desktop');
