This repository contains two scripts that:
- Takes user input via microphone
- Translates the same using Google Translate
- Uses a TTS to speak translated text in English
Python Environment: python 3
Install the dependencies required for our python packages.
Follow this link to install homebrew as the package manager or simply run the following in your command line/bash:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Mac should now come with Python 3 installed by default. To check, simply run:
which python3
If this returns a path then congratulations 🎉 you have python3 installed. If not, follow this link to install python3 using homebrew. Also ensure to set pip.
Next install the depedencies mpg321 and portaudio.
mgp321 allows us to run mp3 files in command line and port audio is for audio I/O management.
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
brew install mpg321
brew install portaudio

You will need to set up an AWS account and get the credentials (Access Key and Secret Key to run this project).
After getting the credential create a .env file in your local directory and add the credentials. The file can look something like this:
WS_ACCESS_KEY="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
AWS_SECRET="YOUR_SECRET_KEY"
Save the above file.
Next we run the file similar to the local TTS:
$ python3 ttspolly.py
(.env) ➜ tts-test git:(master) ✗ python ttspolly.py
