Text-to-Speech (TTS) Simple (by HMCorp)

This repository provides a simple implementation of a Text-to-Speech (TTS) system. It allows users to generate speech audio files (e.g., .wav) from text input. The project is designed to be lightweight and easy to use.

Features

• Convert text input into .wav audio files.
• Cross-platform support for macOS and Windows.
• Easy setup and usage.

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip (Python package manager)

Installation

macOS

1. Install Python:

   brew install python
   

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/HMCorp-Fund/tts_simple.git
   cd tts_simple
   

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. Install additional dependencies for .wav file generation:

   brew install ffmpeg
   

Windows

1. Install Python: Download and install Python from python.org. Ensure you check the box to add Python to your PATH during installation.
2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/tts_simple.git
   cd tts_simple
   

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   python tts_simple.py --text "This is a test." --output test.wav
   

Dependencies

The project uses the following Python libraries:

• gTTS (Google Text-to-Speech)
• pydub (for audio processing)
• ffmpeg (for .wav file generation)

Install these dependencies via:

pip install gTTS pydub

Notes

• Ensure FFmpeg is correctly installed and added to your PATH for .wav file generation.
