TTS Reader: Multilanguage Text-to-Speech Python Script

Description

Welcome to TTS Reader, a Python-based application designed to convert your text files into audio using Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology. If you've ever needed a reliable text to audio converter, this AI voice generator is built just for you. Whether you have eBooks, articles, or documents in formats like .txt, .pdf, or .docx, our text to voice converter can turn them into spoken words, making it a versatile voice generator for a variety of needs.

Features

• Multilanguage Support: One of the standout features of our TTS reader is its ability to automatically detect the language of your text. This ensures that the text to speech conversion happens in the same language as the text, offering a truly multilingual text to voice experience.
• Support for Multiple File Formats: Our text to voice converter is not just limited to plain text. It can read .pdf and .docx files, making it a comprehensive text to audio solution.
• Progress Tracking: While dealing with extensive .pdf and .docx files, our TTS reader shows a progress bar for real-time tracking. You won't be left guessing how much of the document has been processed.
• Unique Output: One of the challenges with any voice generator is ensuring that you don't accidentally overwrite existing files. Our text to audio application addresses this by generating uniquely named .mp3 output files.
• Robust Error Handling: Errors are a part of life, but they shouldn't interrupt your text to speech experience. Whether it's a 'file not found' issue, unsupported formats, or encoding errors, our TTS reader handles them gracefully.

Installation

1. Download the Files: Ensure you download all the Python files (file_reader.py, language_detector.py, text_to_speech.py, and main.py) and place them in the same directory.
2. Install Required Packages: Open your terminal and execute the following commands to install the necessary Python packages.

   pip install PyPDF2 
   pip install python-docx 
   pip install gtts 
   pip install tqdm 
   pip install langdetect

Usage Guide

1. Place Your Text File: Put the text file that you want to convert into an audio format in the same directory as the Python files.
2. Run the Main Script: Navigate to the directory where you've stored the files and run python main.py.
3. Input File Specification: Open main.py and specify the name of the file you want to convert in the file_name variable.

   file_name = "text.txt" # Replace with your file name

4. Run and Retrieve Output: Execute the script to receive an .mp3 output file in the same directory. The TTS reader will automatically detect the language of the text and convert it into speech accordingly.
