The more accurate title for this is "Python interface to Google's cloud TTS service".
Which means it won't work offline or when Google inevitably shuts down the API.
- microcolonel 9y agoYeah, I'm getting a bit of fatigue from all of this "brand new voice assistant!" and "amazing text to speech and speech recognition!" crap which just turns out to be the same wrapper script around Google's APIs that everyone wrote in five minutes when the APIs opened up.
- visarga 9y agoI'm wondering why the Linux TTS offering is so dismal, and why the voices used by Apple, Google and MS are so old. We have seen amazing demos with WaveNet from DeepMind a year ago. Where are the new amazing voices?
- woodson 9y agoBecause WaveNet is very impractical in production (per sample prediction). Tacotron may be a better fit (https://google.github.io/tacotron https://google.github.io/tacotron).
- app4soft 9y agoYeah. Its remember me similar script written for PyS60 for use Symbian 9.x in-built TTS
- visarga 9y agoNot only that, but you don't get word level timestamps when rendering a phrase. If you want to track speech word by word, it's not possible.
