Fun activity Anyone want to make a speech to text

[simong1993]

Hey all, i have a few things going on but i am wondering if any python programmers want to join me with this little adventure, I want to colab and make a text to speech video 😀 I have done some code already but its always nice to have someone to bounce off

import gtts
from playsound2 import playsound
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

#GetFacts
page = requests.get("http://www.djtech.net/humor/useless_facts.htm", timeout=1)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.text, 'html.parser')

souptable = soup.find("table", {"id": "table269"})

for loop in souptable.findAll('p'):
    try:
        TextEnd = ""
        TextEndComplete = ""
        Fact = loop.text.strip()
        Fact = Fact.strip()
        CompleteText = Fact
        CompleteText = CompleteText.replace('\n', '').replace('\r', '').replace('        ', '')

        if len(CompleteText) > 50:
            CompleteText = CompleteText.split(" ")
            for i in CompleteText:
                if len(TextEnd) < 50:
                    TextEnd = TextEnd + i + " "
                else:
                    TextEndComplete = TextEndComplete + TextEnd + i + "\n"
                    TextEnd = ""
            if TextEnd != "":
                TextEndComplete = TextEndComplete + TextEnd
                TextEnd = ""


            print(TextEndComplete)
        print("=============")

        tts = gtts.gTTS(CompleteText)
        tts.save("FactVideo1.mp3")
        playsound("FactVideo1.mp3")

    except Exception as E:
        print(E)

this is where i am at, at the moment. i take a quote and if its over 50 words i split it by the space. put it back together and put it on a new line every 50 characters 🙂
