Text-To-Speech (TTS) using Gemini API with Google Apps Script

Gists Description This script provides a simple example for generating Text-To-Speech (TTS) using the Gemini API within Google Apps Script. The Gemini API generates audio data in the audio/L16;codec=pcm;rate=24000 format, which is not directly playable. Since there’s no built-in method to convert this to a standard audio/wav format, this sample script includes a custom function to handle the conversion. Limitations and Considerations The provided convertL16ToWav_ function is specifically designed for the audio/L16;codec=pcm;rate=24000 MIME type.

Importance of Time Information in Gemini and Current Time Handling

python / Gemini / AI

Gists Abstract This report investigates how Gemini handles current time information, particularly when using the Gemini API. We found that while the Gemini web interface knows the current time, the Gemini API does not inherently. Therefore, applications must explicitly provide current time information in API calls for accurate time-sensitive responses. Introduction The rapidly advancing field of generative AI is enabling increasingly complex tasks, particularly through the use of open protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol.

Automating Straight to Smart Quote Conversion in Google Docs

Gists Abstract For extensive Google Docs, manually converting straight to smart quotes is inefficient. This report offers an automated solution using Google Apps Script, saving time and effort. Description You might find yourself needing to convert straight quotes (both single and double) to smart quotes in Google Docs. For small documents with a limited number of quotes, this can be done manually with minimal effort. However, when dealing with extensive documents and numerous quotes, the manual process becomes time-consuming and inefficient.
