OpenAI API Text To Speech with Python Code

Creating human-like voices that emulate emotions, and deeply connect with the end users will empower your unique narrative by making bonds with all your readers and users is now possible with OpenAI API that gets text as input and generates voices with the text provided!

OpenAI has released the most powerful Text to Speech on the Market

Introduction

The Audio API features a dedicated text-to-speech (TTS) endpoint named 'speech', powered by our advanced TTS model. This API offers six pre-integrated voices and is versatile enough for a range of applications, including:

• Narrating written blog posts with an engaging audio version.
• Generating spoken audio in various languages, broadening accessibility.
• Providing real-time audio output through streaming, ideal for dynamic content delivery.

Python Code Text To Speech OpenAI API

This code will convert text to audio speech using the OpenAI API.

Run this command on your terminal:

pip install --upgrade openai

Filename: textToSpeech.py

from pathlib import Path
from openai import OpenAI
import os
#voices (alloy, echo, fable, onyx, nova, and shimmer)
with open('key.txt', 'r') as file:
  first_line = file.readline()
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = first_line
client = OpenAI()


speech_file_path = Path(__file__).parent / "speech.mp3"
response = client.audio.speech.create(
  model="tts-1-hd",
  voice="alloy", 
  input="Ascendance is empowering Science and Tech!"
)

response.stream_to_file(speech_file_path)
print(speech_file_path)

Create a file named: key.txt put your API key on the first line with no spaces.

Audio Quality

The standard tts-1 model offers lower latency for real-time applications, albeit with lesser quality compared to the tts-1-hd model. tts-1 may produce more static under certain conditions, but the difference may be imperceptible depending on the listening device and listener.
