Not able to use gTTS module in python

I tried using gTTS module in python for text to speech. However, when I run the code, I am not able to hear anything. I referred to https://pypi.org/project/gTTS/ for the installation and documentation.

(I am using Ubuntu)

My code:

from gtts import gTTS
tts = gTTS('hello')
tts.save('hello.mp3')

I am not getting any errors. However, I am not able to hear anything.

Solution

  • gTTS only converts your text to speech and saves it. You have to use another module like playsound or use an audio player to play your audio file. For example:

    from gtts import gTTS
import playsound

tts = gTTS(text='hello', lang='en')
tts.save("hello.mp3")
playsound.playsound("hello.mp3")
