Awesome!!!!!!!! ~~~~ Thanks a lot!!!

If you check the setting in iOS you will find that voice can be spoken in different people:
For example: en-US: the default is Samantha(female), there is Fred(male), and you also can download Allison, Ava, Nick... as well as Siri
How can we use them in speech.say()?

The propose is because that the quality of default voice of zh-cn is terrible which is read by Tian-Tian, but I check others like Ting-Ting or female Siri, the quality is much better.

Does anyone know how to change the setting?

Many thanks

@ccc very nice, many thanks!!

Thanks for your reply. @omz
Yeah, in theread_story(), i forgot to type self. in the post. And I tried it before, it didn't work.
Yesterday I tried using a global variable and it succeeded!!!!

here's the code for anyone who also need it:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import requests,urllib
import sound,os,time
import ui

player = sound.Player('./sources/sound/temp.mp3')

class baidu_speech (ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        self.width,self.height = ui.get_screen_size()
        self.img = ui.ImageView(
            image = ui.Image('iob:chatbubble_working_32'))
        self.img.x,self.img.y = (self.width-self.img.width)/2,(self.height-self.img.height)/2
        self.add_subview(self.img)
    
    @ui.in_background
    def speech(self,text,name,vol=5,per='lady',spd=2,pit=5):
        path = './sources/sound/'
        if os.path.exists(path+name+'.mp3') and name != 'temp':
            pass
        else:
            person = {'woman':0,'man':1,'man2':2,'actor':3,'girl':4,'lady':5}
            #start effect
            client_id = '********'
            secret = '********'
            token_url = 'https://openapi.baidu.com/oauth/2.0/token?grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=%s&client_secret=%s'%(client_id,secret)
            token = eval(requests.get(token_url).content)['access_token']
            convert_text = urllib.parse.quote(text)
            
            url = 'http://tsn.baidu.com/text2audio?lan=zh&ctp=1&cuid=abcdxxx&tok=%s&&tex=%s&vol=%d&per=%d&spd=%d&pit=%d'%(token,convert_text,vol,person[per],spd,pit)
            urllib.request.urlretrieve(url,path+name+'.mp3')
        #end effect
        if name == 'temp':
            global player
            player = sound.Player(path+'temp.mp3')
            player.play()
        else:
            sound.play_effect(path+name+'.mp3')
        self.superview.remove_subview(self)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    pass

the global variable is super super super important.... player = sound.Player('./sources/sound/temp.mp3') and use it in the method: global player

In order to read a Chinese story via TTS, the speech module is not perfect in reading Chinese because of multiple pronunciation.
So I use a online speech API to generate MP3.

def online_speech(text, vol, per, spd, pit):
   #api code
   ... #generate text speech link from API
   urllib.request.urlretrieve(url,'temp.mp3') #save mp3

   sound.play_effect('temp.mp3') #read mp3

if __name__ == '__main__':
   online_speech('Hello',5,'woman',2,5)

the result was, whatever the text I'd changed, it always said the same word 'Hello'
for example, if I changed the code below after running the code above

online_speech('Hello world',5,'woman',2,5)

it said 'Hello'. if I deleted the 'temp.mp3' and run again, it said 'Hello' again!!

I had no idea... what was going on, then I tried to use sound.player()

def online_speech(text, vol, per, spd, pit):
   #api code
   ... #generate text speech link from API
   urllib.request.urlretrieve(url,'temp.mp3') #save mp3

   player = sound.Player('temp.mp3') 
   player.play() #read mp3

if __name__ == '__main__':
   online_speech('Hello',5,'woman',2,5)

it didn't say anything!!
the player only works like this:

def online_speech(text, vol, per, spd, pit):
   #api code
   ... #generate text speech link from API
   urllib.request.urlretrieve(url,'temp.mp3') #save mp3

if __name__ == '__main__':
   online_speech('Hello',5,'woman',2,5)
   player = sound.Player('temp.mp3') 
   player.play() #read mp3

I have a class for reading story. so when I write like this：

def read_story(self,text):
   from online_speech import *
   online_speech(text,5,'woman',2,5)
   player = sound.Player('temp.mp3') 
   player.play() #read mp3

it kept silent .... I really don't know what to do here.... does anyone meet this before?
It really doesn't make any sense.

Hello, I've installed pandas via stash
After importing it, it said this version of pandas is incompatible with numpy <1.9.0, your numpy version is 1.8.0
Then I pip installed numpy via stash, but the error message still showed.
It seems that it always check the system's library first and it cannot be deleted or moved.

Could anyone help me fix this problem? Many thanks!
