I believe I asked about this one before and I'm looking into it again.

What is like to do is make the self voicing function work on Android devices.

In my looking around, I found gTTS
https://pypi.org/project/gTTS/
Which can be used with Python

Code: Select all

from gtts import GTTS
import os
tts = gTTS(text='Hello world', lang='en')
tts.save("hello.mp3")
os.system("mpg321 hello.mp3")

As I understand it, the text that shows in a say window is not actually text, but an image created from the script. I was wondering how I might get that text into the gTTS module?

I also found iOS TTS

Code: Select all

import speech
speech.say('Hola mundo', 'es_ES')

Which can also record speech

Code: Select all

import sound

r = sound.Recorder('audio.m4a')
r.record(3)  # seconds

And convert it to text (for renpy.input?)

Code: Select all

text = speech.recognize('audio.m4a', 'en')[0][0]  # sent to Apple servers

Anybody got any tips to getting these to work with Ren'Py?

Though I've not tried any of this myself (yet), I'd suggest looking at plyer (https://github.com/kivy/plyer) as a wrapper api into pyjnius on droid or pyobjus on ios.
If you got plyer talking to pyjnius correctly you could hook into the text of your VN by using config.say_menu_text_filter and passing the text off to the TTS function before returning it to Ren'Py for display...

Wow, let us know how this works out for you! I've also wondered about this before.

Good afternoon, has there been any progress since the fast? I'm curious to know the result.
