An offline, cross-platform text-to-speech library for Python that hooks directly into your operating system's native voice engines.

When you need text-to-speech without cloud latency, API keys, or internet dependencies, pyttsx3 is the industry standard (it runs entirely offline). The library acts as a universal wrapper around native OS engines: SAPI5 on Windows, NSSpeechSynthesizer on macOS, and eSpeak on Linux. With a clean, three-line initialization sequence (import, init, and say), developers can easily adjust speaking rates, toggle between male and female system voices, and export synthesized speech directly to MP3 files.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Building Graph Navigation Tool for the Visually Impaired](https://hong-kong.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_5Setv57KQwQ)

Access8Graph, a keyboard-input, speech-output system that allows screen reader users navigate complex graph data — starting with Taipei Metro System. The tool parses GraphML files (a common visual graph format), extracts semantic relationships that visual editors often ignore, and provides three distinct navigation modes matched to different user mental models — directional navigation, linear exploration, and route planning.
