Python Text To Speech | pyttsx module

Last Updated : 14 Jan, 2019

is a cross-platform text to speech library which is platform independent. The major advantage of using this library for text-to-speech conversion is that it works offline. However,

supports only Python 2.x. Hence, we will see pyttsx3 which is modified to work on both Python 2.x and Python 3.x with the same code.

pip install pyttsx3

First we need to import the library and then initialise it using

function. This function may take 2 arguments.

• drivername : [Name of available driver] sapi5 on Windows | nsss on MacOS
• debug: to enable or disable debug output

After initialisation, we will make the program speak the text using

function. This method may also take 2 arguments.

• text : Any text you wish to hear.
• name : To set a name for this speech. (optional)

Finally, to run the speech we use

All the

texts won't be said unless the interpreter encounters

.

Speaking Text

# importing the pyttsx library
import pyttsx3

# initialisation
engine = pyttsx3.init()

# testing
engine.say("My first code on text-to-speech")
engine.say("Thank you, Geeksforgeeks")
engine.runAndWait()

Listening for events

import pyttsx3

def onStart():
   print('starting')

def onWord(name, location, length):
   print('word', name, location, length)

def onEnd(name, completed):
   print('finishing', name, completed)

engine = pyttsx3.init()

engine.connect('started-utterance', onStart)
engine.connect('started-word', onWord)
engine.connect('finished-utterance', onEnd)

sen = 'Geeks for geeks is a computer portal for Geeks'


engine.say(sen)
engine.runAndWait()

It works offline, unlike other text-to-speech libraries. Rather than saving the text as audio file,

actually speaks it there. This makes it more reliable to use for voice-based projects.
