gTTS for people who don't have time!

gTTS stands for Google Text-to-Speech. It's that voice you hear in Google Translate and other Google apps and products use it as well.

Ok! I know you guys just want to see the code, so let's get on with it!

Step 1: Install the gTTS library.


from gtts import gTTS

Step 2: Declare what you want it to say.


from gtts import gTTS
tts = gTTS('Hello gTTS')

Step 3: Save that .mp3 file.


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

Step 4:

Run the program. In your "files" sidebar, you should see something like: hello.mp3.
Play it!

@LoganSpong here is an idea for your aspiring mind, try make a python library that uses the gTTS library and the new repl.it audio library to allow actual tts. Good luck and once again good job

I fact now that I think about it maybe I might make something like that. owo

LoganSpong

@RaidTheWeb Repl.it "play" function only allows .wav and .aiff files. Not .mp3 files. But good idea anyways!

How do I get the file to save into a folder?

LoganSpong

@EthanClark2 os.chdir(folder) should work.

Nice! What language is this in? By my guess, I have a feeling it is python because of the importing format.

LoganSpong

@ShivankChhaya Right. It is python
