A Python script that colors Chinese characters to match their spoken tone. This tool provides other transcriptions into zhuyin, pinyin, and the IPA as well.
pip install pypinyin jieba
import colortones
# processes the text.
chinese = "老板想买哪种水果？我听不懂。不要打扰我。"
paragraph = colortones.process_text(chinese)
# loads a color scheme.
scheme = colortones.load_color_scheme("default")
# prints colored text to the console.
print(paragraph.to_color_str("hanzi", color_scheme=scheme))
print(paragraph.to_color_str("pinyin", color_scheme=scheme))
print(paragraph.to_color_str("ipa-root", color_scheme=scheme))
print(paragraph.to_color_str("zhuyin-root", color_scheme=scheme))
