Quickstart

A quick-and-dirty script to utilize the python-msspeak library.

from msspeak import msspeak

subscription_key = 'XXXXXXXXXXXX'

tts_msspeak = msspeak.MSSpeak(subscription_key, '/tmp/')
output_filename = tts_msspeak.speak("This is the text I will speak to you", "en-US")

print ("Recorded TTS to %s" % output_filename)

Installation

Install, upgrade and uninstall python-msspeak.py with these commands:

$ pip install python-msspeak
$ pip install --upgrade python-msspeak
$ pip uninstall python-msspeak

Example usage and output

Usage:

$ python-msspeak --subscription_key=<subscription_key> -t <text> [-d <directory>] [-url <service_url>] [-h]

Example:

$ msspeak --subscription_key=XXXXXXXXX -t "Salut, Vous vous appelez comment?" -l fr

Output :

$ Recorded TTS to /tmp/MSTRANSLATE-8895934760117809679-fr.mp3
