espeakng-runtime

espeakng-runtime is a small Python adapter around eSpeak and eSpeak NG for applications that need phonemization without embedding model-specific G2P policy.

It provides:

  • native ctypes and command-line backends

  • automatic executable, library, and data discovery

  • optional espeakng-loader integration

  • IPA phonemization and batching

  • voice enumeration

  • exact native clause terminator codes when supported

  • runtime diagnostics and capability reporting
