Text-To-Speech with Python Espeak
Submitted by NanoDano on Sat, 01/30/2016 - 23:14
NOTE: There is a better text-to-speech package that I would recommend for Python. It supports espeak, but also supports native Windows and Mac speech APIs. Check out my Text-to-speech in Python with pyttsx3 tutorial. It also covers how to use English and Russian voices but works in Windows.
Install espeak and the python-espeak package in Ubuntu with apt-get.
sudo apt-get install espeak python-espeakNext, download the Russian dictionary pack from http://espeak.sourceforge.net/data/. Download the version that matches your installed version. If you need to check what version you have installed use apt-cache.
apt-cache show espeakAfter downloading the zip file, unzip it to get the dictionary file. Move it in to the espeak-data folder and overwrite the existing # and unzip it and replace the existing ru_dict file.
wget http://espeak.sourceforge.net/data/ru_dict-48.zip
unzip ru_dict-48.zip
sudo mv ru_dict-48 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/espeak-data/ru_dictIn Python 2, You must specify the encoding in the first or second line to allow Cyrillic Characters.

from espeak import espeak
espeak.set_voice("ru")
espeak.synth("где хакер")
