LMNT Python Library

The LMNT Python library provides convenient access to the LMNT API from applications written in the Python language.

[Documentation]

Installation

Installing from PyPI is the quickest way to get started:

pip install --upgrade lmnt

Install from source with:

python setup.py install

Getting started

The most common operation you'll perform is a synthesize request. Given some text and a voice, it will return an audio file that you can play back. Take a look at our documentation for a deeper dive into the SDK.

import asyncio

from lmnt.api import Speech


LMNT_API_KEY = ...  # fill in your API key here


async def main():
  async with Speech(LMNT_API_KEY) as speech:
    synthesis = await speech.synthesize('Hello, world.', voice='lily', format='wav')
    with open('output.wav', 'wb') as f:
      f.write(synthesis['audio'])


asyncio.run(main())

While you can provide an api_key argument, we recommend using python-dotenv to add LMNT_API_KEY="My API Key" to your .env file so that your API key is not stored in source control.
