I am making a language learning web app that when you hover over the word, it pronounces it for you. I'd like to access the native speaker translations from Google Translate API. I've found this resource which gives <code>http://translate.google.com/translate_tts</code> as the base URL and <code>tl</code> for target language and <code>q</code> for the query string. This works awesome when I just access it in the browser, http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=zh-CN&q=你好, but any httprequests for my app return a 403 Forbidden error. <blockquote> localhost:~ me$ wget "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&tl=en&q=hello+world" --2015-06-02 11:02:06-- http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&tl=en&q=hello+world Resolving translate.google.com... 173.194.123.38, 173.194.123.36, 173.194.123.32, ... Connecting to translate.google.com|173.194.123.38|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden 2015-06-02 11:02:07 ERROR 403: Forbidden. </blockquote> Is there a formal Google API for text-to-speech associated with their payment plans for traditional Google Translate API that I'm just not finding? Or is there a way to <code>get</code> and play this audio somehow?

You can get anything sound, I found it: https://translate.google.com.vn/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&q=ANYTHING_TEXT&tl=en&client=tw-ob Note: client=tw-ob

That resource is dated. Google deprecated free access to the language translate api. Now an API key is needed. The api is also now in V2. Without an api key you will receive the 403 forbidden error. More information here: https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs
