py-picotts
Some simple wrappers around SVOX Pico TTS intended to make using this TTS for wave file generation as convenient as possible.
Target audience are developers who would like to use SVOX Pico TTS as-is for speech synthesis in their Python application on GNU/Linux operating systems.
Constructive comments, patches and pull-requests are very welcome.
Examples
First, imports:
import wave
import StringIO
from picotts import PicoTTSenglish (default) synthesis:
picotts = PicoTTS()
wavs = picotts.synth_wav('Hello World!')
wav = wave.open(StringIO.StringIO(wavs))
print wav.getnchannels(), wav.getframerate(), wav.getnframes()result:
1 16000 22720
try a different language:
picotts.voice = 'de-DE'
wavs = picotts.synth_wav('Hallo Welt!')
wav = wave.open(StringIO.StringIO(wavs))
print wav.getnchannels(), wav.getframerate(), wav.getnframes()result:
1 16000 22464
List Available Voices
l = picotts.voicesresult:
['de-DE', 'en-GB', 'en-US', 'es-ES', 'fr-FR', 'it-IT']
