windows - How to use espeak with python

Question

I want to use espeak(http://espeak.sourceforge.net) with python2.7.0-32 bit in windows7.

Additionally, I also want to save the audio files generated by espeak.

Answer 1

I tried to install this package in Windows 8 but couldn't really get it in the first few attempts.

But this is what i did to get espeak to work with python

1. Download and Install espeak for Windows from here
2. Add the eSpeak/command-line folder to PATH so that the command espeak is available
3. Call espeak commands using python module subprocess similar to how it is done in the example below
