Thanks @oaeide it works for me (obviously the example in the md article is no longer valid...)
It's quite a confusion for me that why Google does not provide a clear doc for this API about each argument? It's disappointed that we have to guess how to use it properly...

I have error 403.
Negated access. How I can fix it?

I´ve made a helper to .net... check it out in my git hub... but to play in your app you'll need add references from windows media player.

Thanks @oaeide it works for me. 👍

How it would be possible to have that service offline?, the input text to an mp3 file ?

Thanks you @oaeide it works for me too.

i got 404 error. Although I'm just using hardly 10 characters. still it is not working.

I'm trying to get text-speech into my react app ,I've found this example [https://codesandbox.io/s/1ggs6] ,it worked fine with chrome and edge,otherwise on Firefox it can't read more than 2 languages US-english ,I just want the german language.
