Description-en: Python bindings for eSpeak
eSpeak is a software speech synthesizer for English, and some other
languages.
.
eSpeak produces good quality English speech. It uses a different synthesis
method from other open source text to speech (TTS) engines, and sounds quite
different. It's perhaps not as natural or "smooth", but some find the
articulation clearer and easier to listen to for long periods.
.
This package contains bindings to use eSpeak from within Python
applications.
.
Be aware that python-espeak is still in an early state; it's incomplete
and the API may change in future versions.
