Barebones Text To Speech
I wrote a text-to-speech system from first principles because I wanted to learn how old-timey text-to-speech systems worked. I'll make a video or something on how it works because there weren't any good in-depth videos about non-nueral-network text-to-speech systems.
How to install
Use pip to install
pip install barebones-tts
Start speaking
Literally just
uv run barebones-tts
...and start typing. This is still in early development so this will change soon to be better.
If you want to save the audio to a wav file then use the --wav or -w flags.
uv run barebones-tts --wav
Also, to use, just import like normal and start speaking:
from barebones_tts import barebones_tts
barebones = barebones_tts()
barebones.speak("Hello world.")
