Hi Guys,

Which is the recomeded library for TTS (Text-to-Speech), I was tried to use coqui TTS (https://pypi.org/project/TTS/), but the install was not quit good

Please give me some guide in that. Tks. Isaac.

There are several good text-to-speech (TTS) libraries available for Python. Here are some popular options:

pyttsx3: pyttsx3 is a cross-platform TTS library that supports multiple speech synthesizers, including the default system synthesizers on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It's easy to use and offers various customization options.

gTTS (Google Text-to-Speech): gTTS is a Python library that uses the Google Text-to-Speech API to convert text to speech. It requires an internet connection to work but provides high-quality synthesized speech.

pyttsx: pyttsx is another cross-platform TTS library that supports multiple speech synthesizers. It offers a simple API and allows customization of voice, speed, and volume.

Festival: Festival is a widely-used open-source TTS system. While not a Python library itself, you can use the PyFestival library to interact with Festival in Python.

espeak: espeak is a compact TTS engine that supports multiple languages and is available on various platforms. You can use the pyttsx library with the espeak engine to integrate it with your Python code.

The choice of the best library depends on your specific requirements and the platform you're working on. It's recommended to try out different libraries and see which one fits your needs the best.
