I install stash, and after in stash console try:
pip install pyttsx3
I receive
........
........
Running setup file ...
PermissionError(1, 'Operation not permitted')
Failed to run setup.py
Fall back to directory guessing ...
Error: Cannot locate packages. Manual installation required.
When installed wikipedia all was ok.
Please help solve.
This is not a solution for the installation but maybe it can help you, Pythonista has an already TTS module called “speech” and it works well
import speech
speech.say('hello')
Thank's a lot. You help me.
@sulcud
In iOS 12 russian language work well. But in iOS 13 russian words pronounce terrible with english mix. What's wrong in iOS13?
I don’t speak Russian so I can’t confirm is the Russian pronunciation Is wrong, but maybe you are running the “say” function with the language “en-US”; this function has this parameters:
text -> text you want to say
language -> (optional) the language that you want to speak with
rate -> (optional) the speed of the voice
Maybe you are trying this, I don’t know
import speech
speech.say(some_russian_text)
You should try
import speech
speech.say("привет друг", "ru-RU")
If not yet ok, you could try speech via ObjectiveC
@sulcud
Thank's again. Setting "ru-RU" working good in iOS13.
def say(text):
settings = read_settings()
if settings["sound"] == 'yes':
# windows
if os.name == 'nt':
engine = pyttsx3.init()
en_voice_id = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\TTS_MS_EN-US_ZIRA_11.0"
ru_voice_id = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\TTS_MS_RU-RU_IRINA_11.0"
# use russian sound
engine.setProperty('voice', ru_voice_id)
engine.say(text)
engine.runAndWait()
# iOS, Android
elif os.name == 'posix':
speech.say(text, "ru-RU")
else:
pass
@sulcud
Maybe you know how to change default voice from female to male?
And how can i print all availible voices?

https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/4706/how-to-use-speech-say-in-different-voice/2
@lyubomyr83, I made this class to make it easier to work with the reference @ccc is pointing to, all could be done thanks to the work of @JonB
import objc_util
import re
class SpeechModule(object):
def __init__(self):
self.__AVSpeechUtterance = objc_util.ObjCClass('AVSpeechUtterance')
self.__AVSpeechSynthesizer = objc_util.ObjCClass('AVSpeechSynthesizer')
self.__AVSpeechSynthesisVoice = objc_util.ObjCClass('AVSpeechSynthesisVoice')
self.__synthesizer = self.__AVSpeechSynthesizer.new()
def get_synthesis_languages(self) -> list:
return self.__AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.speechVoices()
def say(self, msg: str, language: objc_util.ObjCInstance, rate=0.5):
utterance = self.__AVSpeechUtterance.speechUtteranceWithString_(msg)
utterance.rate = rate
utterance.voice = voice
utterance.useCompactVoice = False
self.__synthesizer.speakUtterance_(utterance)
def is_speaking(self) -> bool:
return self.__synthesizer.isSpeaking()
def is_paused(self) -> bool:
return self.__synthesizer.isPaused()
def pause(self) -> bool:
return self.__synthesizer.pauseSpeakingAtBoundary_(True)
def stop(self) -> bool:
return self.__synthesizer.stopSpeakingAtBoundary_(True)
def continue_speaking(self):
self.__synthesizer.continueSpeaking()
Here is an example how to use it
import time
speech_ = SpeechModule()
available_voices = speech_.get_synthesis_languages()
us_english_voices = tuple(filter(lambda voice: "en-US" in str(voice), available_voices))
voice = us_english_voices[0]
speech_.say('Hello friend! how are you?', voice, 0.3)
time.sleep(1)
speech_.stop()
print(speech_.is_speaking())
speech_.say("nevermind", voice)
For some reason I can’t make that pause function to work correctly, anyway, it is an idea for your project and maybe my class could be buggy, so objc gurus invocation (@cvp @mikael @JonB @ccc )
@sulcud 👍 perfect except the fact to include me in a gurus list 😢
@sulcud said:

Parameter of pauseSpeakingAtBoundary_ is not a Boolean but an integer, see AVSpeechBoundary , try 0=Immediately instead ofTrue
@cvp, you are right, using 0 fixes it, did you find anyway to fix the false positives that is_paused and is_speaking functions return?
@sulcud I don't have tested your code thus I didn't know there were some problems, except this one you described. I'll try later, sorry
@sulcud First, parameter of stopSpeakingAtBoundary_ is also integer...
@sulcud said:

No, sorry
Haven't tried, but often objc_util.on_main_thread fixes problems like is_paused not reporting correct no values.
Note is_speaking will return true even if paused...
@JonB nothing changed for is_speaking, as you did foresee
Discussion
Returns YES if the synthesizer is speaking or has utterances enqueued to speak, even if it is currently paused. Returns NO if the synthesizer has finished speaking all utterances in its queue or if it has not yet been given an utterance to speak.
So if you want to know when speaking stops, one would want to check if not speaking, or speaking and paused.
Because of threading and such, it might be more reliable to implement the delegate, and then keep track of state within the delegate object, that can then be queried in python code.
@sulcud, looking at this putting a wrapper around the delegate as @JonB suggests looks like the best way to get fine control over the speech, being able to highlight individual words as they are spoken etc.
Such a wrapper could also include synchronous methods, so that it would be easy to just say something and move on after the talking is done.
@sulcud
I was remove speech module in my iOS. How to recover???
I think that erasing a Pythonista build-in module is not possible, remember that python has a weird importing system so if you have a script/folder called speech in the same folder of your main script maybe you are importing it instead of the build in one. (python import order is: current dir, ... , site-packages, build-in) but If that is not the case, I think a fresh install of Pythonista could work
@sulcud fresh install doesn't helped. I was delete speech module before over stash(((. Now i can't recover.
Make sure you don't have a speech.py in site-packages, or in the same folder as the main script you are running. Also make sure you don't have any folders called speech inside site-packages, that includes an init file.
As a check, in the console, try
import speech
If that fails, look at the traceback to show you what failed, which should include a path to the module it was trying to import.
You can also try
import speech
import inspect
print(inspect.getfile(speech))
Either you will get an error module 'speech' (built-in)> is a built-in module
Either you will get its path if another speech module is imported
@cvp
get an error module 'speech' (built-in)> is a built-in module
@lyubomyr83 thus, you did not remove it...
@lyubomyr83 why do you think you deleted the speech module? What error do you get when you try to use it?
Or, are you talking the SpeechModule script that was shared?
In that case, just copy the code again, paste into the editor, and name it something other than speech...
@JonB i have two same 3rd generation ipads, run the same program and have voice in one of them and not in another one. Yes, voice is on ))) in settings. And i have not errors.
@lyubomyr83 could you try the iOS Shortuts app with "speak text" command, only to check if the problem could come from the hardware and not from Pythonista
@cvp in iOS settings/speech i hear sound when i change speed (Turtle)
@lyubomyr83 ok, but did you try the shortcut ?
And is your script as short as
import speech
speech.say("привет друг", "ru-RU") # hello friend
@lyubomyr83 check that the mute alarms is not set in the pull down settings. If you have a physical mute switch, make sure it is not set to mute. If you have a physical switch that you toggled to lock rotation, then make sure the swipe settings doesn't show mute.
Even when volume is turned up, pythonista honors the mute setting for some sounds.
