Say Something

In this section, you’ll learn how to convert text into speech and have Robot HAT speak it aloud.

Steps

  1. We retrieve text from the command line to enable Robot HAT to articulate it. To achieve this, save the following code as a .py file, such as tts.py.

    import sys
from robot_hat import TTS

# Check if there are enough command line arguments
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
    text_to_say = sys.argv[1]  # Get the first argument passed from the command line
else:
    text_to_say = "Hello SunFounder"  # Default text if no arguments are provided

# Initialize the TTS class
tts = TTS(lang='en-US')

# Read the text
tts.say(text_to_say)

# Display all supported languages
print(tts.supported_lang())

  2. To make Robot HAT vocalize a specific sentence, you can use the following command: sudo python3 tts.py "any text" - simply replace "any text" with the desired phrase.
