## What it is
A Python module and CLI that lets you use Microsoft Edge's online neural text-to-speech service without needing Edge, Windows, or an API key. It supports many voices and languages, can write audio files and subtitles, and includes an edge-playback command for immediate playback.

## Use cases
- convert text to speech mp3 from python
- generate narration audio with subtitles
- use microsoft neural voices without api key
- list available tts voices
- play synthesized speech from terminal
- add voiceover to videos or apps

## When to choose
- you want free high-quality neural TTS without an API key
- you need a simple Python API or CLI for text-to-speech
- you want multilingual voices with subtitle output

## When to avoid
- you need offline text-to-speech
- you require custom SSML control over prosody
- you need a guaranteed SLA since it relies on an unofficial Microsoft endpoint

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: tts, cli, speech-recognition
- domain: speech-processing
- platform: python, cross-platform, cli
- tags: text-to-speech, microsoft-edge, neural-voices, subtitles, no-api-key, natural-language-processing, command-line
