File Structure

  • main.py: The main script file containing the text-to-speech conversion logic.
  • log.json: A JSON file that stores the log of converted texts, their IDs, languages, and genders.
  • Outputs/: A directory where the generated audio files are saved in MP3 format with a random ID in the filename (e.g., output_abcd12.mp3).

Implementation Details

The script uses the gTTS (Google Text-to-Speech) library to convert text to speech. It generates a random ID for each conversion and saves the input text, ID, language, and gender in a JSON log file (log.json).

The text_to_speech function performs the following steps:

  1. Creates the "Outputs" directory if it doesn't exist.
  2. Generates a random ID for the conversion.
  3. Saves the input text, ID, language, and gender in the log.json file.
  4. Creates a gTTS object with the specified language, gender, and voice settings.
  5. Saves the generated speech as an MP3 file in the "Outputs" folder, using the random ID in the filename.
  6. Prints the path to the saved audio file.

The script prompts the user to select the language and gender for the voice, and then prompts for the input text to be converted to speech.
