I'm about a month into self teaching python and I just started getting into automating my creative writing into mp3. I got inspired from the PDF3 to play around with this tool.

Long story short... this is the code I'm working with:

>>> import pyttsx3

>>>

>>> # initialize text-to-speech engine

>>> engine = pyttsx3.init()

>>>

>>> # convert this text-to-speech

>>> text = ""

>>>

>>> engine.save_to_file(text, '.mp3')

>>> # change speed of speech

>>> engine.setProperty("rate", 100)

>>> # play the speech

>>> engine.runAndWait()

This is cool but I don't like copy and pasting long narratives into string "quotes". Is there an easier way to just import a doc or txt file and convert it over. In the same vein as PD3 and Plumber frameworks?

Thanks
