Using [google-text-to-speech] v1Beta1 version in c# - google-text-to-speech

Question

Does any one know how to use the V1Beta1 version in c#. It will be a great help if some one can point me to some example. Google has not created a Client for this version.

I had the same problem (for Google.Apis.Texttospeech.v1) and could not find an example anywhere. I pieced it together from some Ruby Api docs, so, this works for me.
How to use Google.Apis.Texttospeech.v1 in C#:
var request = new Google.Apis.Texttospeech.v1.Data.SynthesizeSpeechRequest();
request.AudioConfig = new Google.Apis.Texttospeech.v1.Data.AudioConfig()
{
AudioEncoding = "Linear16" // = WAV, or "MP3", "OGG_OPUS"
};
request.Input = new Google.Apis.Texttospeech.v1.Data.SynthesisInput
{
Text = "Sample Speaker Text" // Or use Ssml = "<speak> Your SSML Text.
</speak>"
};
request.Voice = new Google.Apis.Texttospeech.v1.Data.VoiceSelectionParams
{
LanguageCode = "en-EN",
Name = "en-US-Wavenet-C"
};
var service = new Google.Apis.Texttospeech.v1.TexttospeechService(new
Google.Apis.Services.BaseClientService.Initializer
{
ApplicationName = "My Sample App",
ApiKey = "[Your API Key]"
}
);
var response = service.Text.Synthesize(request).Execute();
using (var output = System.IO.File.Create("audioclip.wav"))
{
var bytes = System.Convert.FromBase64String(response.AudioContent);
output.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
}
