Python Microsoft Speak
----------------------

python-msspeak is a library to produce a text-to-speech file using
`Microsoft Translate`_ web services.

In order to utilize this service you must sign up for Microsoft Translator
service and register an application. More information on creating a Microsoft
account is located at the `getting started with Microsoft Translator API`_ page.


Quickstart
----------

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

client_id is the Microsoft Translator API client_id, and client_secret is the
Microsoft Translator API client_secret:
::

import msspeak

client_id = 'XXXXXXXXXXXX'
client_secret = 'YYYYYYYYYYYYYY'

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

print "Recorded TTS to %s" % output_filename
