Project Prerequisites

This project uses basic Python concepts along with the following libraries:

Tkinter – A built-in Python library for creating graphical user interfaces.

gTTS (Google Text-to-Speech) – Converts text into audio using Google’s API.

playsound – Plays audio files with a simple command.

Use the following pip commands to install the necessary libraries:

bash

pip install tkinter   pip install gTTS   pip install playsound

Project Overview

The goal is to input any message, click a button, and hear the message spoken aloud. We'll use Tkinter for the GUI, gTTS to convert the text to audio, and playsound to play the audio.

Steps to Build the Project

1. Import Required Libraries

python

from tkinter import * from gtts import gTTS from playsound import playsound

2. Initialize the Window

python

root = Tk() root.geometry("350x300") root.configure(bg='ghost white') root.title("Debugshala - TEXT TO SPEECH")

Add labels and input fields:

python

Label(root, text="TEXT_TO_SPEECH", font="arial 20 bold", bg='white smoke').pack() Label(text="Debugshala", font='arial 15 bold', bg='white smoke', width='20').pack(side='bottom') Msg = StringVar() Label(root, text="Enter Text", font='arial 15 bold', bg='white smoke').place(x=20, y=60) entry_field = Entry(root, textvariable=Msg, width='50') entry_field.place(x=20, y=100)

3. Convert Text to Speech Function

python

def Text_to_speech():    Message = entry_field.get()    speech = gTTS(text=Message)    speech.save('Debugshala.mp3')    playsound('Debugshala.mp3')

4. Exit Function

python

def Exit():    root.destroy()

5. Reset Function

python

def Reset():    Msg.set("")

6. Create Buttons

python

Button(root, text="PLAY", font='arial 15 bold', command=Text_to_speech, width='4').place(x=25, y=140) Button(root, font='arial 15 bold', text='EXIT', width='4', command=Exit, bg='OrangeRed1').place(x=100, y=140) Button(root, font='arial 15 bold', text='RESET', width='6', command=Reset).place(x=175, y=140)

7. Run the Mainloop

python

root.mainloop()

Project Summary

You’ve successfully built a Python text-to-speech converter! This project used Tkinter to design the GUI, gTTS to turn text into voice, and playsound to play the generated audio. It’s a simple yet powerful project that showcases the practical use of Python for real-world applications.
