TTSAutomate

If you are working on a project that requires large numbers of text strings to be converted to audio, processing them one by one is a laborious task. With the right tool at your disposal, however, you can save yourself a lot of time and effort.

TTSAutomate is an application designed to facilitate the conversion of multiple text strings to audio using a text-to-speech engine. It supports several TTS providers and voices, and it features a very intuitive UI.

When you open the application for the first time, you will notice that a table takes up the bulk of the UI. Here, you need to enter every phrase that should be converted, one per line, as well as the output file name and, optionally, its subfolder.

You can listen to the phrases being spoken using various voices before starting the operation, and then play them from within the application once they are converted. The phrase file can then be opened at any time if you wish to generate audio files using a different voice.

TTSAutomate is a versatile piece of software, as it enables you to take advantage of several text-to-speech providers when processing files. Windows Text-to-Speech is a local option, but the program also supports Amazon Polly, Google Text-to-Speech and Bing Text-to-Speech.

These engines allow you to process text written in a number of languages, and even dialects, while the program itself has also been translated into multiple languages.

Local documentation is not available, gut a detailed guide can be found on the project’s GitHub page. Even without these instructions, however, most users should not run into any issues, as the application is quite intuitive.

By default, the program exports the generated audio to both MP3 and WAV, but you can disable MP3 encoding, as well as set the sample rate and number of bits per sample.

In conclusion, TTSAutomate is a great utility for users who need to turn large numbers of short text strings into audio using a text-to-speech engine. It makes processing the same files multiple times a simple task, and it offers support for several local and web-based TTS providers.
