About pyttsx3
nateshmbhat/pyttsx3
Offline Text To Speech synthesis for python
Abstracts platform-specific TTS engines (SAPI5 on Windows, eSpeak on Linux, AVSpeech/NSSpeechSynthesizer on macOS) behind a unified Python API, enabling voice selection, rate/volume control, and audio file export. The library provides both synchronous and file-saving modes, with configurable speech properties accessible through a simple property getter/setter interface.
About sanskrit_tts
avinashvarna/sanskrit_tts
Sanskrit text to speech
Supports multiple TTS backends (Google Cloud, Bhashini AI) through a unified Python interface, allowing flexible switching between providers. Works around lack of native Sanskrit support by leveraging Kannada phonetic rendering on commercial TTS APIs, with audio output managed via pydub and ffmpeg. Includes a free proxy option with embedded Bhashini credentials for non-commercial Sanskrit text synthesis without authentication setup.
