gtts-cli - convert text to mp3
gtts-cli [-h | --help] (["text to speak"] | -f FILE |
--file FILE) [-o DESTINATION_FILE | --destination DESTINATION_FILE] [-l LANG
| --lang LANG] [--slow] [--debug]
Create an mp3 file from your text with the gtts-cli command line
utility. It allows unlimited lengths to be spoken by tokenizing long
sentences where the speech would naturally pause.
- [-h | --help]
- Prints a help message and exits.
- (["text to speak"] | -f FILE | --file FILE)
- If given text in quotes, generates an mp3 with that text spoken. With -f
FILE, generates the mp3 with the text from FILE.
- (-o DESTINATION_FILE | --destination DESTINATION_FILE)
- The file to write the generated mp3 to. If not given, writes to stdout
(probably not what you want!)
