Python Text-to-Speech App Project

Are you interested in creating a Python app that can convert text to speech? In this project, we will be using the Tkinter library to create a user-friendly interface for our app.

Python Tkinter

Tkinter is a built-in Python library that allows you to create GUI applications. It provides various widgets such as buttons, labels, and entry fields that you can use to build your app’s interface.

Text-to-Speech Functionality

For the text-to-speech functionality, we will be using the pyttsx3 library, which is a text-to-speech conversion library in Python. It supports multiple TTS engines, including SAPI5, nssspeak, and espeak.

Creating the App

First, we will create a simple GUI using Tkinter with a text entry field for the user to input the text they want to convert to speech. We will also add a button that triggers the text-to-speech conversion process when clicked.

Python Code Example

import tkinter as tk
import pyttsx3

def convert_text_to_speech():
    text = text_entry.get()
    engine = pyttsx3.init()
    engine.say(text)
    engine.runAndWait()

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Text-to-Speech App")

text_entry = tk.Entry(root, width=50)
text_entry.pack()

convert_button = tk.Button(root, text="Convert", command=convert_text_to_speech)
convert_button.pack()

root.mainloop()

Conclusion

With this simple Python app project, you can easily convert text to speech using the Tkinter and pyttsx3 libraries. Feel free to customize the app further by adding more features and functionalities.
