Text-to-speech (TTS) module that works under Python 3

Question

I have tried PyTTS (deprecated) and PyTTSx (the most recommended) and two Google TTS solutions (gTTS and another one by some guy named Hung Truong) but none of them worked under

Answer 1

I just installed gtts 1.0.7 that was uploaded on 2015-10-07

The following code works for me in Python 3.5:

import subprocess
from gtts import gTTS

audio_file = "hello.mp3"
tts = gTTS(text="Hello World!", lang="en")
tts.save(audio_file)
return_code = subprocess.call(["afplay", audio_file])

I'm on a Mac using in the inbuilt "afply" to play the mp3 but there are other ways e.g. Playing mp3 song on python
