edge-tts and msedge-tts
These two tools are competitors, as both aim to provide a Python interface for synthesizing text to speech using Microsoft Edge's online text-to-speech service, with the former being significantly more popular and widely used.
About edge-tts
rany2/edge-tts
Use Microsoft Edge's online text-to-speech service from Python WITHOUT needing Microsoft Edge or Windows or an API key
Leverages Microsoft Edge's cloud TTS API by reverse-engineering the WebSocket protocol it uses, providing async Python bindings alongside CLI tools (`edge-tts`, `edge-playback`) for batch synthesis. Supports 100+ neural voices across languages with prosody control (rate, pitch, volume), subtitle generation, and integrates with automation frameworks like Home Assistant.
About msedge-tts
hs-CN/msedge-tts
This library is a wrapper of MSEdge Read aloud function API. You can use it to synthesize text to speech with many voices MS provided.
Provides both synchronous and asynchronous APIs with dual client/stream architectures—clients buffer complete audio responses, while streams enable low-latency progressive audio delivery by separating send and read operations on split connections. Dynamically fetches available voices from Microsoft's service and supports configurable audio formats via serializable `SpeechConfig` objects, with multilingual text support demonstrated across Chinese and English.
