Readme
Dimits is a Python library that provides an easy-to-use interface to the Piper text-to-speech (TTS) system. It utilizes the powerful Piper TTS engine, which is optimized for Raspberry Pi 4, to generate high-quality synthesized speech.
You can install Dimits via pip:
pip install dimits
This will automatically install the necessary dependencies
Here's a simple example of using Dimits to synthesize speech:
from dimits import Dimits
# Initialize Dimits with the desired voice model
dt = Dimits("en_US-amy-low")
# Convert text to audio and play it using the aplay engine
dt.text_2_speech("Hello World", engine="aplay")
Dimits supports all the voices available in the Piper TTS system. To use a specific voice, simply provide corresponding .onnx file namepo initializing the Dimits class.
For a list of available voices and their download links, refer to the Piper TTS repository.
To use Dimits, first create an instance of the Dimits class, providing the path to the desired voice model:
from dimits import Dimits
dt = Dimits("en_US-amy-low")
To synthesize speech and play on the go, simply call the text_2_speech method, providing the text to be synthesized and the desired engine:
dt.text_2_speech("This is a test.",engine='aplay')
on other hand to synthesize speech and save it to the file, call text_2_audio_file finction providing file_name dir and format
dt.text_2_audio_file("Hello World", "hello_world", "/path/to/output/directory/", format="wav")
To change the voice used for synthesis, create a new instance of the Dimits class with the desired voice model:
# dt = Dimits("en_US-amy-low")
dt = Dimits("en_US-danny-low")
