Offline Text To Speech synthesis for Python.

pyttsx3 is a Python library for offline text-to-speech (TTS) conversion. Unlike many TTS libraries that rely on online APIs, pyttsx3 operates locally by leveraging speech engines installed on the system (like eSpeak on Linux, NSSpeechSynthesizer on macOS, and SAPI5 on Windows). This offline functionality makes it ideal for applications where internet connectivity is unreliable or undesirable. The library provides a simple and intuitive API to convert text into speech, control the rate and volume of the speech, and select different voices installed on the system. It also supports saving the generated speech as an audio file. pyttsx3 acts as a wrapper around available system TTS engines, streamlining the process of integrating TTS functionality into Python applications without needing constant API calls to external services.

Operates entirely offline, eliminating dependency on external APIs and ensuring privacy and reliability.
Allows selection of different voices installed on the system, including male and female voices.
Enables adjustment of the speech rate, allowing users to control the speed of the generated speech.
Offers the ability to adjust the volume of the generated speech.
Supports saving the generated speech as an audio file (e.g., MP3), enabling offline playback and integration with other applications.
Install the library using pip: `pip install pyttsx3`
If you encounter installation errors, upgrade wheel: `pip install --upgrade wheel`
For Linux, install espeak-ng and libespeak1: `sudo apt update && sudo apt install espeak-ng libespeak1`
Import the library in your Python script: `import pyttsx3`
Initialize the engine: `engine = pyttsx3.init()`
Set speech properties (optional): `engine.setProperty('rate', 125)`, `engine.setProperty('volume', 1.0)`, `engine.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id)`
Convert text to speech: `engine.say('Hello World!')`
Run and wait for the speech to complete: `engine.runAndWait()`
All Set
