+
+
+This directory contains samples for Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API 'Speaking Addresses with SSML' Tutorial. Google Cloud Text-To-Speech API 'Speaking Addresses with SSML Tutorial'_ enables you to use Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) to speak a text file of addresses. You can embed SSML commands in a string of text to personalize synthetic audio from Cloud Text-to-Speech API.

+Setup
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Authentication
+++++++++++++++
+
+This sample requires you to have authentication setup. Refer to the
+`Authentication Getting Started Guide`_ for instructions on setting up
+credentials for applications.
+
+.. _Authentication Getting Started Guide:

+
+Install Dependencies
+++++++++++++++++++++
+
+#. Clone python-docs-samples and change directory to the sample directory you want to use.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        $ git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples.git
+
+#. Install `pip`_ and `virtualenv`_ if you do not already have them. You may want to refer to the `Python Development Environment Setup Guide`_ for Google Cloud Platform for instructions.
+
+   .. _Python Development Environment Setup Guide:
+       https://cloud.google.com/python/setup
+
+#. Create a virtualenv. Samples are compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.4+.
+
+    .. code-block:: bash
+
+        $ virtualenv env
+        $ source env/bin/activate
+
+#. Install the dependencies needed to run the samples.
