How to use espeak with python

问题:

I want to use espeak(http://espeak.sourceforge.net) with python2.7.0-32 bit in windows7.

Additionally, I also want to save the audio files generated by espeak.

回答1:

I tried to install this package in Windows 8 but couldn't really get it in the first few attempts.

But this is what i did to get espeak to work with python

1. Download and Install espeak for Windows from here
2. Add the eSpeak/command-line folder to PATH so that the command espeak is available
3. Call espeak commands using python module subprocess similar to how it is done in the example below

How about something like this.

import subprocess

def execute_unix(inputcommand):
   p = subprocess.Popen(inputcommand, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
   (output, err) = p.communicate()
   return output

a = "Some amazing words of wisdom."

# write out to wav file 
b = 'espeak -w temp.wav "%s" 2>>/dev/null' % a  

# speak aloud
c = 'espeak -ven+f3 -k5 -s150 --punct="<characters>" "%s" 2>>/dev/null' % a #speak aloud

execute_unix(b) 
execute_unix(c)

Im using this at the moment which is working well...on my Raspberry Pi

from subprocess import call

call(["espeak","-s140 -ven+18 -z","Hello From Mike"])
