Do I need express or is there a simpler way I can pass these 3 values to my node.js script on the same server? Please use examples to explain as I am completely new to programming.

<head>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="ttsForm.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
  <form name="ttsForm" action="javascript:ttsForm()">
      <p>Filename: <input type="text" name="filename" value="">.wav</p>
      <p>
          <select name="voice">
              <option value="en-US-AmberNeural">Amber</option>
              <option value="en-US-AriaNeural">Aria</option>
          </select>
      </p>
      <p><textarea type="text" name="script" rows="20" cols="100"></textarea></p>
      <input type="submit" value="Send" />
  </form>
</body>

This is going to Azure to translate from text to speech:

function ttsForm() {
    const sdk = require("microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk");
    const key = 'somekey';
    const region = 'myregion';
//    var filename = document.getElementsByName('filename')[0].value;
//    var voice = document.getElementsByName('voice')[0].value;
//    var script = document.getElementsByName('script')[0].value;
    var audioConfig = sdk.AudioConfig.fromAudioFileOutput(filename);
    const speechConfig = sdk.SpeechConfig.fromSubscription(key, region);
//    speechConfig.speechSynthesisOutputFormat = SpeechSynthesisOutputFormat.Riff24Khz16BitMonoPcm;
    var synthesizer = new sdk.SpeechSynthesizer(speechConfig, audioConfig);
    synthesizer.speakTextAsync(script,
        function (result) {
      if (result.reason === sdk.ResultReason.SynthesizingAudioCompleted) {
        console.log("synthesis finished.");
      } else {
        console.error("Speech synthesis canceled, " + result.errorDetails);
      }
      synthesizer.close();
      synthesizer = undefined;
    },
        function (err) {
      console.trace("err - " + err);
      synthesizer.close();
      synthesizer = undefined;
    });
    console.log("Now synthesizing to: " + filename);
};
ttsForm();

  • No, you don't *need* Express, but it actually does make the problem simpler, rather than more complicated. What does your server-side code look like? – Brad Feb 04 '22 at 00:32
