I applied an AI TTS to the lesson audio generation. For now, it’s the prototyping stage, but I tested Gemini TTS and OpenAI TTS, and both could be utilized.
It will be useful for non-English language learners, since I heard from them that the default TTS is not good.
I’ll refine the code and add it as a feature in my add-on soon.
Both sound better than the current ones we have on LingQ. Is there a possibility to choose it as an option on LINGQ itself without resorting to downloading third party add ons.
If you install my add-on and set up an API key for the TTS service, what you need to do to generate a lesson audio will be just click the generation button.
The above demo shows the workflow I’m going to develop.
will there be a character restriction. I am using some free AI voices on a separate window, but they have a character restriction so for a long lesson I have to copy and paste text in parts which is a bit time consuming. I don’t know about your add on if it may have it. I am currently using this OpenAi, my preferable one for English is NYC cabbie with Ash or Noir Detective with Ash.
