TTS TUI
This is the terminal UI version of Clipboard Narrator but uses newer WinRT API to allow using any voice on windows.
Comparison to Microsoft Edge TTS
| Edge TTS | TTS-TUI |
|---|---|
| requires using MS Edge | works anywhere you can copy |
| uses cloud voices | uses system voices |
| delay each time you start a voice | little to no delay |
Windows built-in narrator has a different use case but does use the system voices.
PDF readers don't allow copying newlines between paragraphs so they can't be split directly, convert it to a txt file with the original layout first.
