winspeech

Speech recognition and synthesis library for Windows - Python 2 and 3.

This is a simple Python library based on the abandoned PySpeech library for Python 2. Requires pywin32.

PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/winspeech
Doc: https://pythonhosted.org/winspeech/

Installation

> pip install winspeech

Example

# Say anything you type, and write anything you say.
# Stops when you say "turn off" or type "turn off".

import winspeech
import sys

# Start an in-process recognizer. Don't want the shared one with built-in windows commands.
winspeech.initialize_recognizer(winspeech.INPROC_RECOGNIZER)


def callback(phrase, listener):
    print(": %s" % phrase)
    if phrase == "turn off":
        winspeech.say("Goodbye.")
        listener.stop_listening()
        sys.exit()


print("Anything you type, speech will say back.")
print("Anything you say, speech will print out.")
print("Say or type 'turn off' to quit.")

listener = winspeech.listen_for_anything(callback)

while listener.is_listening():
    if sys.version_info.major == 3:
        text = input("> ")
    else:
        text = raw_input("> ")
    if text == "turn off":
        listener.stop_listening()
        sys.exit()
    else:
        winspeech.say(text)

winspeech's Issues

hello my friends

i am new about it .when i runing "import winspeed " have a long mistake.
about it:
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\winspeech.py", line 49, in
voice = win32com.client.Dispatch("SAPI.SpVoice")
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client_init.py", line 95, in Dispatch
dispatch, userName = dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 109, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName
return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 86, in _GetGoodDispatch
IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx, pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221005, '\xce\xde\xd0\xa7\xb5\xc4\xc0\xe0\xd7\xd6\xb7\xfb\xb4\xae', None, None)

please help me ...

Feature request: TimeOut parameter?

Hi. First off, a fantastic module, works really well! (within the limits of the Windows speech recognition engine)!

I'm unfortunately a python newbie, but was wondering if there is there any chance of adding a TimeOut parameter to the listen_for_anything function? It would be quite useful when wanting a script to only listen for voice input or command for, say, 10 seconds, and then continue if nothing is received.

Right now I'm using a messy multiprocess loop to handle a timeout, but would be cleaner if a timeout functionality was run inside the function itself.

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'winspeech' has no attribute 'initialize_recognizer'

Edit: This had nothing to do with the winspeech dependency. It was entirely my own dumb mistake. Please disregard.

The example in the readme # Say anything you type, and write anything you say... was working as expected for me with Python 3.9.10 embedded, on Windows 10 64-bit. I'm trying to use it now with installed Python 3.10.2 on the same machine, but I'm getting this error:

λ python winspeech.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\Sync\Projects\py\winspeech.py", line 4, in <module>
    import winspeech
  File "E:\Sync\Projects\py\winspeech.py", line 8, in <module>
    winspeech.initialize_recognizer(winspeech.INPROC_RECOGNIZER)

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'winspeech' has no attribute 'initialize_recognizer' (most likely due to a circular import)
