Daemon using TTS (text to speech) to read aloud the name of the music playing on spotify, vlc or other media players

Main points:

• Linux only, needs to have playerctl installed
• 2 modes available, either poor quality speech using espeak, or high quality using TransformerTTS
• Contributions welcome.
• My crontab is something as follow:

*/5 * * * * start-stop-daemon  --pidfile /tmp/spotify_tts_pid --make-pidfile --background --start --exec /PATH/spotify_tts.py -d /PATH/TransformerTTS
59 * * * * kill $(pgrep --full "spotify_tts.py")

Usage:

• git clone https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub/Spotify_tts/
• cd Spotify_tts
• pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt optionnal, only if you want to use AI powered TTS
• cd Spotify_tts && python3 ./spotify_tts.py to launch it directly, otherwise run it as daemon like shown above
