Hi Folks,
Is there any tutorial, sample code, example on how to use mimic3 directly from python without running the command line tool or sending a request to mimic3-server? Thanks in advance.

Check out the source code to the Mimic 3 TTS plugin, specifically the _synthesize method.

you can also use the OVOS plugins directly in your code, just add them to requirements.txt and import directly

usage would be

from ovos_tts_plugin_mimic3 import Mimic3TTSPlugin

cfg = {"voice": "en_UK/apope_low"}  # select voice etc here

mimic = Mimic3TTSPlugin(cfg)
mimic.get_tts("hello world", "output_file_path.wav")
