gTTS (Google Text to Speech): a Python interface for Google's Text to Speech API. Create an mp3 file with the gTTS module or gtts-cli command line utility. It allows unlimited lengths to be spoken by tokenizing long sentences where the speech would naturally pause.

pip install gTTS

You may either use gTTS as a python module or as a command-line utility

>> from gtts import gTTS

>> tts = gTTS(text='Hello', lang='en', slow=True)

• text - String - Text to be spoken.
• lang - String - ISO 639-1 language code (supported by the Google Text to Speech API) to speak in.
• slow - Boolean - Speak slowly. Default False (Note: only two speeds are provided by the API).

• To disk using save(file_name)

>> tts.save("hello.mp3")

• To a file pointer using write_to_fp(file_object)

>> f = TemporaryFile()
>> tts.write_to_fp(f)
>> # <Do something with f>
>> f.close()

gtts-cli.py [-h] (["text to speak"] | -f FILE) [-l LANG] [--slow] [--debug] [-o destination_file]

$ # Read the string 'Hello' in English to hello.mp3
