Playsound

As explained in Data Analysis with LLMs

playsound is a Python library for playing audio files through the system's audio output.

playsound lets Python play audio files through the computer’s audio output. In audio-generation workflows, it plays speech saved to a file after OpenAI models generate it. section 7.1

Spoken-input translator

A translator records spoken input, translates it, generates speech in the target language, and uses playsound to play the resulting audio file. section 7.4.3

pip install playsound==1.3

Install the library with the listed playsound 1.3 command. Some operating systems, particularly macOS, also require PyObjC. section 7.1
