Explaining how to change voice in Python GTTS
In order to change the voice using Python GTTS (Google Text-to-Speech), you need to understand a few concepts and utilize the available methods and parameters.
Step 1: Install the necessary packages
First, make sure you have the required packages installed. Use pip to install the following:
pip install gTTS pyttsx3
Step 2: Import the required modules
In your Python script, import the necessary modules:
from gtts import gTTS
Step 3: Create a gTTS object
Create a gTTS object and specify the text you want to convert to speech:
tts = gTTS('Hello, how are you?')
Step 4: Save the audio to a file
Save the audio to a file using the save() method:
tts.save('output.mp3')
Step 5: Change the voice with pyttsx3
If you want to change the voice, you can use the pyttsx3 library. First, import the module:
import pyttsx3
Step 6: Change the voice settings
Create a pyttsx3 object and set the desired voice by changing the voice ID:
engine = pyttsx3.init()
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
voice_id = 'voice_id_of_your_choice'
engine.setProperty('voice', voice_id)
Step 7: Convert text to speech with the new voice
Now you can convert text to speech using the modified voice:
engine.say('Hello, how are you?')
engine.runAndWait()
Example
Here’s a complete example of changing the voice in Python GTTS:
from gtts import gTTS
import pyttsx3
# Create gTTS object
tts = gTTS('Hello, how are you?')
# Save audio to a file
tts.save('output.mp3')
# Change the voice with pyttsx3
import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init()
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
voice_id = 'voice_id_of_your_choice'
engine.setProperty('voice', voice_id)
# Convert text to speech with new voice
engine.say('Hello, how are you?')
engine.runAndWait()
