Wanna transform text into an mp3? Thanks google for gtts<\/h2>\n
\"error<\/a>
error in gtts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The gtts module, is the api that python can use to access to the google text to speech engine, so that you can transform text into mp3 easily in any language. It can happen, if you do not update gtts that you find an error like this:<\/p>\n

AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘group’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To avoid it install the upgrade of gtts, but also of the gtts-token module:<\/p>\n

pip install gtts –upgrade<\/p>\n

pip install gtts-token –upgrade<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This will avoid the error<\/p>\n

Here is some code to get a text and transform it into an mp3<\/p>\n

# remember to update gtts and gtts-token\r\n\r\nimport os\r\nfrom gtts import gTTS\r\n\r\n\r\ndef txt_to_mp3(text):\r\n    with open(text, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as filetospeak:\r\n        s = gTTS(filetospeak.read(), \"it\")\r\n        s.save(text[:-4] + \".mp3\")\r\n\r\n    os.system(text[:-4] + \".mp3\")\r\n\r\n\r\ntxt_to_mp3(\"finanziamenti.txt\")<\/pre>\n
You must have the .txt file into the same directory where you exectute the code.<\/p>\n
