Text to speech project takes words on digital devices and convert them into audio with a button click or finger touch. Text to speech python project is very helpful for people who are struggling with reading.<\/p>\n<h3>Project Prerequisites<\/h3>\n<p>To implement this project, we will use the basic concepts of Python, Tkinter, gTTS, and playsound libraries.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tkinter<\/strong> is a standard GUI Python library that is one of the fastest and easiest ways to build GUI applications using Tkinter.<\/li>\n<li><strong>gTTS (Google Text-to-Speech)<\/strong> is a Python library, which is a very easy library that converts the text into audio.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>playsound<\/strong> module is used to play audio files. With this module, we can play a sound file with a single line of code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To install the required libraries, you can use pip install command:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"EnlighterJSRAW\" data-enlighter-language=\"null\">pip install tkinter\r\npip install gTTS\r\npip install playsound\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>Download Python Text to Speech Project Code<\/h3>\n<p>Please download the source code of Text to Speech Project: <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1-8IsnLURbYsJtiJC9KMCK4HMb6sW_a1V\/view?usp=drive_link\"><strong>Python Text to Speech<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Text to Speech Python Project<\/h3>\n<p>The objective of this project is to convert the text into voice with the click of a button. This project will be developed using Tkinter, gTTs, and playsound library.<\/p>\n<p>In this project, we add a message which we want to convert into voice and click on play button to play the voice of that text message.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Importing the modules<\/li>\n<li>Create the display window<\/li>\n<li>Define functions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So these are the basic steps that we will do in this Python project.
