Speak on Fly (app)

This is a script I made some time ago.

from gtts import gTTS
from io import BytesIO
import pygame
import time


def wait():
    while pygame.mixer.get_busy():
        time.sleep(.1)


def process_speak(text="", language='en'):
    ''' speaks without saving the audio file '''
    wait()
    mp3_fo = BytesIO()
    tts = gTTS(text, lang=language)
    tts.write_to_fp(mp3_fo)
    mp3_fo.seek(0)
    sound = pygame.mixer.Sound(mp3_fo)
    sound.play()
    wait()

def save_(name="myfile", text="", language='en'):
    ''' saves the audio file and then speaks '''
    global filecount

    tts = gTTS(text, lang=language)
    tts.save(f"{name}{filecount}.mp3")
    sound = pygame.mixer.Sound(f"{name}{filecount}.mp3")
    filecount+=1
    sound.play()
    wait()

def save_file(name="myfile", text="", language='en'):
    ''' saves the audio file and then speaks '''
    global filecount
    text = ",".join(text)
    tts = gTTS(text, lang=language)
    tts.save(f"{name}{filecount}.mp3")
    sound = pygame.mixer.Sound(f"{name}{filecount}.mp3")
    sound.play()
    wait()

def speak(text: list or str):
    ''' use speak as many lines are there into text '''
    if type(text) == list:
        for t in text:
            process_speak(t)
    elif type(text) == str:
        process_speak(text)

def save(text):
    for t in text:
        save_("myfile", t)
filecount = 0


def examples():
    global text
    guide = f"""
    {text=}
    Examples:
        speak("A simple text")
        speak(text) # where text is a multiline string converted into list with splitlines() or a list of strings
    
    Example of saving the text into a file
        save_file("onefile", text)""".splitlines()

    for x in guide:
        print(x)


pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.init()

# Provide a long text, making it a list
text = """I've always thought too much
it's like my brain cannot stop thinking
so I guess what could stop overthinking
""".splitlines()


speak("This is working")
speak(text)
