Django-Gtts

A Django app to add gTTS google text-to-speech to the template and cache generated text-to-speech .mp3 files.

Install:

- With pip

• pip install Django-Gtts
  

- From the source:

• git clone https://github.com/mrf345/django_gtts.git
  
• cd django_gtts
  
• python setup.py install

Setup:

- Add it to the settings.py in INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'gTTS',
    ...
]

After adding the app make sure to do migration for caching model :

• python manage.py makemigrations gTTS
• python manage.py migrate gTTS

- Inside your Django Template:

NOTE: load gTTS should be used once in the begining of every template that uses say, Or once in the begining of the base template.

{% load gTTS %}
<audio
    src="{% say 'en-us' 'text to say' %}"
    controls
></audio>

- To add a dynamic translation view to urls.py:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    # for unauthorized access dynamic translation 
    path('gtts/', include('gTTS.urls')),
    # for user authorized dynamic translation
    path('gtts_auth/', include('gTTS.urls_auth')),
    ...
]

now you can access http://localhost:8000/<language>/<text> and, it should return json response {'mp3': 'static mp3 link'}

- To clean up stored cache of mp3 files and modal records

from gTTS.cache import remove_cache

remove_cache()

- Options:

say(
    language='en-us', # language to convert text to
    text='say hi'): # text to be converted`_<br />
