How to directly play speech in python without saving to mp3?

Question

I am trying into convert text to speech in Python using the gTTS module. Is there a method you can use which does not involve saving the audio to an mp3 file and instead plays the it directly? I have looked online for a while but I still can't find a method which completely avoids saving to files. Thanks!

Answer 1

Try using pyttsx3. Usage:

import pyttsx3
engine = pyttsx3.init()
engine.say("I will speak this text")
engine.runAndWait()

This does not save audio to an mp3 file and works offline.
