We've provided a sample (funWithSpeech.py)
application that you can use to have fun with the Watson speech service.
Note
Before using this sample program, you will have to substitute in your own username and password for the service instance that you created earlier.
Let's take a look at what this program is doing:
- The program can take in three optional command-line arguments—the text string that you want to synthesize, the voice in which you want it expressed, and the
customization-id
of any custom model that you want to use (assuming that you created one previously and have thecustomization-id
that was created with it). - The program begins by parsing and testing the inclusion of any of these three arguments on the command line in lines 84 through to 103.
- It reports on what it will be processing on line 106.
- Then, it invokes the
textSpeech()
function, passing in the arguments that it found, if any, on the command line to do the speech synthesis processing...
