Textspeak 1.4 – more features – python programming

This tool makes you create mp3 audio from text with gtts, tkinter and pygame

1: hear the word whily you type and record it; 2: write a sentence and then you hear it when you hit enter and save the sentence; the mp3 will be saved in a folder called audio
