Yes, you can change the voice to a female voice when using the •espeak'

how to customise voice
 To customize the voice in the •espeak command when converting text to speech in
Termux on Android, you can use various options and parameters to control aspects of
the voice, including pitch, speed, and voice selection. Here's how you can customize
the voice:

Adjust Speed:
You can control the speed of the voice by using the -s or --speed option. The default
speed is usually 175 words per minute. To slow it down, use a lower value, and to
speed it up, use a higher value. For example, to slow down the voice:
lua Copy code

espeak -s 100 -f output. txt -w output. wav

Modify Pitch:
You can change the pitch of the voice using the • -p' or • - -pitch • option. The
default pitch is usually 50. A higher value will make the voice sound higher-pitched,
and a lower value will make it sound lower-pitched. For example:
lua O Copy code

espeak -p 70 -f output. txt -w output.wav

Select a Different Voice:

•espeak • has multiple voice options. You can select a different voice using the • -v •
or
• - -voice • option. To see a list of available voices, you can run:
Copy code

espeak - - voices

Then, choose a voice and specify it with the -v • option. For example:
O Copy code

espeak -v en-us -f output . txt -w output.wav

Replace "en-us" with the specific voice you want to use.
Customize Pronunciation:
You can customize the pronunciation of specific words or phrases using a
pronunciation dictionary file. Create a text file (e.g., pronunciation .txt s) and add
custom pronunciations in the format of "word=pronunciation." Then, use the •
pronunciation • option to specify the pronunciation file:
COPY code

espeak - - pronunciation=/path/to/pronunciation. txt -f output. txt -w outp

This is particularly useful if you need to correct the pronunciation of certain words or
phrases.
5. Adjust Volume:
You can control the volume of the speech using the • -a • or - -a.litude• option. The
default amplitude is usually 100. To increase or decrease the volume, use a higher or
lower value, respectively. For example:
COPY code

espeak -a 200 -f output. txt -w output . wav

Feel free to experiment with these options to fine-tune the voice and pronunciation
to your liking when using •espeak• to convert text to speech in Termux on Android.

 how to convert pdf to audio using termux in android

To convert a PDF to audio using Termux on Android, you can follow these steps. We'll
use a combination of command-line tools like •pdftotext • , , and • ff.eg• to
achieve this.

Install Termux:
If you haven't already, you can install Termux from the Google Play Store or the F-
Droid repository.
Open Termux:
Launch the Termux app on your Android device.
Update and upgrade Termux packages:
Run the following commands to make sure your Termux environment is up to date•.
sql Copy code

pkg update
pkg upgrade

Install necessary packages:

You'll need to install some packages to convert PDF to audio. Run the following
command to install them:
copy code

pkg install poppler-utils espeak ffmpeg

Convert PDFtotext:
Use the •pdftotext • tool to convert the PDF into plain text. Replace • input.pdf•
with the actual name of your PDF file:
Copy code

pdftotext input . pdf output. txt

Convert textto audio:

Use the •espeak • command to convert the text file into audio. Adjust the parameters
as needed (e.g., voice, speed, pitch). Replace • output. txt • with the name of your text
file:
Copy code

espeak -f output. txt -w output-wav

This command will create an audio file named •output. wav • .

Optional: Trim the audio (if necessary):
If you want to trim the audio, you can use the 'if—peg • tool. For example, to trim
the first 30 seconds of the audio:
copy code

-i output . wav oo:oo:oo - oo:oo:30 -acodec copy trimmed_output.wav

This command creates a trimmed audio file named •trimmed_output.wav .

Playthe audio:
To play the audio, you can use any audio player app on your Android device.

Keep in mind that the quality of the audio conversion may vary depending on the
PDF's content and formatting. You may need to adjust settings in the •espeak •
command to achieve the desired audio quality and voice. Additionally, you can
explore other text-tospeech and PDF-to-text tools available in the Termux repository
to find the combination that works best for your needs.
The • •w • option in the •espeak' command is used to specify the output file where the generated audio will be saved. It allows you to specify the

name and format of the output audio file.

For example:

code

espeak -S 150 -v en+f3 -f output. txt -w output . wav

 earlier.

• -b:a 192K • sets the audio bitrate forthe MP3 file. You can adjust this value to control the MP3
file's quality. A higher bitrate generally results in better audio quality.
-vn indicates that no video stream should be included in the output. Since you're working
With audio only, this option tells f&peg • to discard any Video data if it exists.
•output.np3' isthenameoftheoutput MP3 file. You can change thistowhateveryou

a voice sample file that 1 have in
converting the TTS in espeak using

CHATGPT

To use a voice sample file for Tut-to-

Speech (TTS) with eSpeak in
Termu*, gou can follow these steps:

l. Install eSpeak: If gou haven't alreadg

installed eSpeak in Terrnu*, gou can do
so using the package manager pkg.
Open and run the following
command to install eSpeak:
pkg install espeak

Prepare Your Te*t: Create a tut file containing

the tut gou want to convert to speech. You
can use a tut editor in Terma* or transfer a
tut file from gour device to Terma* using scp
or other methods.
Use eSpeak with Your Voice Sample: You can use
eSpeak's -w option to specifg a voice sample
file as the source of the voice. Here's the
command to convert gour tut to speech using a
voice sample file:
espeak -w output.wav -v gour_voice_name -f

Replace output.wav with the

desired output filename for the
generated speech.
Replace with the
name of the voice sample file gou
want to use (make sure it's in the
appropriate format for eSpeak).
Replace file.t*t with the path
to the tut file containing the tut gou
want to convert to speech.
Plag the Generated Speech: You can use a tool like
aplag or mpv to plag the generated speech. If
gou haven't installed one of these tools, gou
can do so using the package manager. For
emmple, to install mpv, gou can run:
pkg install mpv

Then, plag the generated speech using

mpv:
mpv output.wav

Replace output.wav with the filename

gou specified in step 3.

That's it! eSpeak should now convert the

provided tut to speech using gour voice
sample file in Termu*, and gou can plag the
generated speech using a suitable audio
plager like mpv. Make sure gou have the
necessarg permissions to access the files in
gour Termu* environment.
