My code line: from espeak import espeak
And I get an error:
File "/home/pi/ttstest.py", line 9, in
from espeak import espeak
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'espeak'
I'm using Raspbian on Raspberry Pi 3.
I have espeak and python-espeak istalled as well.
I used this code in terminal to test the espeak: espeak "Hello World" 2>/dev/null
It works, I'm hearing the speech.
If someone please could help me, I would be more than grateful! :)
Install espeak-python
sudo apt install espeak-python
Then,you can play text as following
from espeak import espeak
espeak.set_voice("en")
espeak.synth("hello")
while espeak.is_playing:
pass

Alernatively,You can run play using espeak command in python
install espeak
sudo apt install espeak
Then,you can play text as following
import os
text="this is demo text"
os.system('espeak "'+text+'"')
Here text is wrapped with double quotes because without it the espeak command will only take first word in this case i.e 'this'
You can also define other arguments as in terminal like speed,voice,word gap etc.
Example using speed of 200 WPM(words per minute)
import os
text="this is demo text"
os.system('espeak -s 200 "'+text+'"')
You may also directly pass string inside double quotes
import os
os.system('espeak -s 200 "this is demo text"')
