Why this Javascript Text-To-Speech using Google URL does not work

Question

I found this question in stackoverflow. I tried to do the same but it does not work.

<html>

<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var audio = new Audio();
audio.src ='https://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=utf-8&tl=en&q=Hello%20World';
audio.play();    
</script>
</body>
</html>

Could you tell me what was wrong?

The problem is a security feature Google has implemented for cross-domain protection.

It is still possible to do what you want though. Just make sure your rel tags are set up properly.

Read this question for more information.

`audio.rel='noreferrer'` I think you want `noreferrer`, not `nofollow`, but you can try either. – Matt C Apr 15 '16 at 17:11
I tried "" but it doesn't work – Tum Apr 15 '16 at 17:11
also tried : , but it didn't work – Tum Apr 15 '16 at 17:13
Have you tried what I just added?? The JavaScript code? – Matt C Apr 15 '16 at 17:14
Yes, It didn't work either. Why didn't you try it by yourself? only a few lines of code, save it into html file. – Tum Apr 15 '16 at 17:17
