# python_google_speak

This is a little Python module that uses a Google Translate online web service to convert short 

texts into high quality MP3 tracks.

## Source Repository ##

See https://github.com/marcus67/python_google_speak

## CircleCI Continuous Integration Status

 

## GitHub Status

    

## Sample Usage ##


from python_google_speak import speech_generator

from python_google_speak import speech_output


sound_generator = speech_generator.SpeechGenerator(p_locale="en_US")

sound_data = sound_generator.generate_audio_data("hello.")

speech_output.playback_audio_data(sound_data) 



## Caveats ##

* Google limits the length of the text to a few hundred characters.

* The library `playsound` which is used by `speech_output` has issues when called from within 

a virtual environment.

## Command Line Interface

The tool can be called from the command line as follows:


# To output to the standard audio device:

> google_speak --locale "en_US" "hello!"


# To write audio data to a file

> google_speak --locale "en_US" --outfile "hello.mp3" "hello!"
