Beginner Python Project : Part 3

In this third post on my preferred python beginner projects I continue by building a jokes app using python. Yap it tells jokes because it has text to speech conversion.

It fetches the jokes from an API

To get started we will need first have a code editor :
either * pycharm * VScode or * Sublime

• Next step create a file and give a .py extension
• Now you will have to install pyjokes: pip install pyjokes
• Next you will need a text to speech conversion, you will have to install pyttxs3: pip install pyttxs3
• After doing the basics you can now write the code below and run it

import pyjokes
import pyttsx3

engine = pyttsx3.init()
voices = engine.getProperty('voices')
engine.setProperty('voice', voices[1].id)
rate = engine.getProperty('rate')
engine.setProperty('rate', rate+-20)

def speak(audio):
    engine.say(audio)
    engine.runAndWait()

def joke():
    speak(pyjokes.get_joke())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    joke()
