At the beginner level, I found this very helpful, as it showed me what was important: the programming. On the other hand, IDEs have so many settings, that you will (practically) never view all the settings it has to offer! I like this simplicity, as it makes you focus on the programming, rather than all the other fancy bells and whistles that IDEs give. Additionally, it is so damn simple! You can literally go through all the settings in 5 - 10 minutes. I honestly think it was for the better.Īs others have stated, the fact that there is very little help (auto-completion, fixing tabbing automatically, etc.) pushes you to develop good coding and typing habits while coding. # On linux make sure that 'espeak' and 'ffmpeg' are installedĮngine.save_to_file('Hello World', 'test.mp3')ĮnAndWait() Full documentation of the Libraryįeel free to wrap another text-to-speech engine for use with pyttsx3.No joke, I started programming in IDLE, because it was right there lmao. 1 for femaleĮngine.say('My current speaking rate is ' + str(rate)) o for maleĮtProperty('voice', voices.id) #changing index, changes voices. #tProperty('voice', voices.id) #changing index, changes voices.

Unlike alternative libraries, it works offline, and is compatible with both Python 2 and 3. Pyttsx3 is a text-to-speech conversion library in Python.
