Hello, steemit family :)
It's been a long time I haven't posted anything other than reports and the work I have been assigned to.
It's my first tutorial in the SIZ community.

This tutorial will be different and interesting as well as the easiest.
That was the first project I made with python language. I hope you would like it.

So what's the project and what I am going to make?
It would be a text-to-speech program. As you people have seen there are many softwares have been made that convert the text into speech. Normally people use them to listen to audio and audiobooks as well.

what do you have to do?
If you are new to programming and don't know about any language then go to google browser and download the python and pycharm. When it would be downloaded then open the pycharm and create a new file named it as you want.

firstly you have to install the library. In terminal write;

---

pip install gTTS

---

gTTS means Google test to speech. For more information, you can read its documentation

Then we will give it some time to install and after installation, we will import the required library and module.

---

from gtts import gTTS
import os

---

Then we will write the text that we want to convert into speech.

mytext = "Hello,steemit family. It's me the country representative of Pakistan. I love steemit and totally addicted to it. I am always here for you, to guide and for your growth. Just comment in this post if you want to ask anything. "

then we will select the language English.

---

language = "en"

---

Write the code to convert the text to speech mp3.

---

output = gTTS(text=mytext, lang=language, slow=False) output.save("output.mp3") os.system("start output.mp3")
This is final how your program will look.
