mytext = 'My Baby samraddhi is playing with my mobile phone. Welcome to cbsetoday.com and this is really amazing my dear!'
 
# Language in which you want to convert
language = 'en'
 
# Passing the text and language to the engine, 
# here we have marked slow=False. Which tells 
# the module that the converted audio should 
# have a high speed

myobj = gTTS(text=mytext, lang=language, slow=False)
 
# Saving the converted audio in a mp3 file named
