How to make Python speak

Question

How could I make Python say some text?

I could use Festival with subprocess but I won\'t be able to control it (or maybe in interactive mode, but it won\'t be clean)

Answer 1

PYTTSX3!

WHAT:

Pyttsx3 is a python module which is a modern clone of pyttsx, modified to work perfectly well in the latest versions of Python 3!

• Python Package Index for downloads: https://pypi.python.org
• GitHub for source , bugs, and Q&A: https://github.com/nateshmbhat/pyttsx3
• Read the Full documentation at: https://pyttsx3.readthedocs.org

WHY:

It is 100% MULTI-PLATFORM and WORKS OFFLINE and IS ACTIVE/STILL BEING DEVELOPED and WORKS WITH ANY PYTHON VERSION

HOW:

It can be easily installed with pip install pyttsx3 and usage is the same as pyttsx:

import pyttsx3;
engine = pyttsx3.init();
engine.say("I will speak this text");
engine.runAndWait();

This is the best multi platform option!
