As Project Z.A.R.A is going to be a very big A.I. assistant (think about Marvel level), I needed a TTS system. On macOS, I didn't have any choice for a good Persian voice. On Linux, speech engines sound so freaking robotic. I decided to make something simple, but effective. So this is the proof-of-concept.
In sounds directory, you can find a bunch of wav files and a sounds.csv file. This is the example input data. This engine doesn't have any A.I. or fancy stuff and works directly with recorded words. It can make it so heavy, but it's good for a special purpose assistant.
The engine.py file, simply converts your input to a wav file. The interface is an interactive interface that helps you hear what you want immediately.
- Install portaudio on your operating system. On Linux it's mostly available from repositories. On macOS, you can simply use
brew. pyaudiopydub
Other libraries are python defaults, as I wanted to keep it simple.
