Can you access methods directly?

[ZingBlue]

Hello,

I'm using the TTS library as part of a project and after importing I noticed there were very few methods to auto-fill in my IDE.
After further research, I found that in server.py of the demo server, text is generated through CLI parsing.
I do not see any documentation for directly accessing methods in order to create audio from text;
this leads to the question: Is it possible to access methods for audio synthesis directly, or is parsing CLI arguments necessary?
And If CLI parsing is necessary, why?

Thanks in advance

you can access the methods as you like by importing the module.

The latest docs might help https://tts.readthedocs.io/en/dev/

pip is mostly for just running inference

Yeah I initially cloned the repo and installed using the instructions in the readme, it did not work however. Then I installed via pip using Python 3.8, and had the same issue.

didn't work means couldn't install? If so what was the error ?

[ZingBlue]

I followed the instructions and it installed without error, however afterwards I had to manually move the TTS subfolder into site-packages. Afterwards when I imported TTS into Python it only allowed me to access a few methods.

I am not sure what is wrong in your case. Please file a bug report.
