Text to speech with Python without saving files

This script makes you speak the pc

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


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


def speak(text, language='en'):
    ''' speaks without saving the audio file '''
    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 speaksave(text, language='en'):
    ''' saves the audio file and then speaks '''
    tts = gTTS(text, lang=language)
    tts.save("myfile.mp3")
    sound = pygame.mixer.Sound("myfile.mp3")
    sound.play()
    wait()


pygame.init()
pygame.mixer.init()
speaksave("This audio is saved as myfile.mp3, look in the folder")
speak("This audio is not saved")

Let’s make some more choices

Here you can choose to hear the words without saving them, saving them in different files, one for each row, or saving all the text in one audio file.
