The add-on is great.
but why the app is sleeping after every single word for 30 sec? When I choose for several notes to add audio by TTS, after the first word it is waiting for 30 seconds. Can you help me please?

It works well with Google translate but can't use Oxford dictionary voice: Request got audio/mpeg Content-Type for web request; wanted binary/octet-stream --- http://prntscr.com/pc4xao

If anyone got that issue, you should read the solution here:

https://github.com/AwesomeTTS/awesometts-anki-addon/issues/82

----

Issue solved :
Please replace require=dict(mime='binary/octet-stream', size=1024), to require=dict(mime='audio/mpeg', size=1024), in 814349176\awesometts\service\oxford.py

-------------------------------------------
Details: Anki 2.0

A fairly simple and universal way is to go to the list of plugins, choose AwesomeTTS and click on Show Files.

Or you can manually search in %appdata%.

For example, the path may be : C:\Users\{YOUR_USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Anki2\addons21\814349176\awesometts\service

One of the top 3 most useful Anki addons. The title is completely appropriate.
Btw, there is a fix for the broken Naver service feature. It still has to be done manually, though. Just replace the naver.py in the addon-directory by the code from github (https://github.com/AwesomeTTS/awesometts-anki-addon/pull/67/files). Don't forget to restart Anki.

This addon is a miracle of the universe

this is basically: "Why the fuck does this not already come with Anki? - The Add-On"

----------
Edit:
HEY RETARDS, DON'T GIVE THIS A THUMBS-DOWN BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ANKI 2.1. Stop being autistic manchildren. The developper does not owe you anything.

-------
Edit 2:

Somebody wrote the following:
"I'm telling you a much easier way: open a google translate tab in your browser and copy the answer to the tab to hear its pronunciation. Seriously, this add-on is for those who have serious OCD. You do a lot of work just to make it a little bit easier to listen to the pronunciation. It's not worth it my fellow learners. Save the time which you put into making it work, use the time to earn some money and use the money to visit a shrink to keep your OCD straight."

It is because of retarded users like this, that many people who create content for free on the Internet end up giving it up.
They delete their mod/add-on/content for whatever platform they are making it, because users are entitled cunts.

on 1544169011
Hi,

It would be great if you can include support for Google Cloud TTS and Amazon Polly TTS.

The Google service includes voices created by neural networks and the quality is amazing. Amazon Polly provides some great voices too.

Both services require some kind of log-in to be used without entering CAPTCHAs or to be used at all. I figure a log-in functionality wouldn't be too hard to code into the plug-in?

The web services mentioned are available at:
https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/
https://us-east-2.console.aws.amazon.com/polly/home/SynthesizeSpeech

Thanks in advance.

Temporary upload for 2.1 is here https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/900455869 (and it was here for a while, really).

As the temporary upload has some of the features disabled, you may also want to try installing an up-to-date version from https://github.com/AwesomeTTS/awesometts-anki-addon. In case of any problems, please post a comment in the following discussion: https://github.com/AwesomeTTS/awesometts-anki-addon/issues/29 (specifically there so all the people involved will be notified).

This addon is... Awesome.
I was a little afraid of using it for learning Japanese, but the integration with ImTranslator (which is the best for Japanese in my opinion) allowed me to use it without installing anything else! And the pronunciation is nice!
This addon is a must for learning languages.

Works great. I tried with modern Greek language from the internal OSX speech engine, on-the-fly as well as adding speech files to a deck. Pronunciation is very good (better than mine, haha!).

I have ample experience with various TTS providers for the development of news reading apps. One advise; take utmost caution when dealing with Neospeech. I have lost thousands of dollars on this TTS platform. When it comes to their VoiceText TTS or SDK , once you have invested in installing it into your environment and are ready to deploy to production they will unilaterally change contract terms. The deductible developer license is actually not deductible from the production license fee and they will add steep royalty costs to their regular pricing. They pulled the plug on my app without notification. I lost $4000 on a developer license and setup apart from the SDK programming costs. Months of correspondence including their CEO Devin Lee but I was never even dignified with an answer. On the bright side; I’m currently quite enthausiastc about AWS Polly. Very transparent and competitive pricing and obviously a much more reliable provider. If you want to know more about my TTS experience with Neospeech Inc. or my current development with AWS Polly drop me a line.

Incredible

This add-on is not only incredibly useful, but also gives so many options and is so incredibly well documented that virtually anything is possible with it. Amazing.

To the poster below : Acapala Group changed their conditions, and do not allow anymore that their voices be used if you do not pay. It has nothing to do with AwesomeTTS (which, in this case) and should not impact your review, in the same way that Anki is not responsible for the material that you put in it... I agree that it is sad, as Acapela Group's voices were great. Fortunately, if you look closely, some other voices are really good too... and free.

Gratitude

Thank you, thank you so much! I used the Naver Translate for Japanese and it's wonderful. In English, I'd call it a game changer. In Chinese, it's almost heaven bending!

Suggestion to move forward: Make the installation and tutorials even more easy to absorb.

I studied IT stuff in college and use computers all day (for more than 10 years), so I have the patience for figuring it out. I can imagine that those unfamiliar with tech would give up once they see the documentation. (Ex. parents, aunts, siblings, et cetera).

All it needs is some simplifying/prettifying (delight-giving) from a user experience design perspective. It already works wonders! I'd love for more people to benefit from it :D.

Absolutely Awesome

I am power anki user. I've used it to study Japanese for 7 years and counting and nothing comes close to this level of awesomeness. It's quick, customization, and gives you a variety of sources to choose from.

I can't express how amazing this is. If I could give 6 stars, I would.
on 1466726400
Fantastic!

After having trouble remembering certain phrases on review I decided to make my own deck with example sentences. Originally I was going to record mp3s and insert them painstakingly into each card which would have taken a lot of time.

Fortunately, this add-on allows you to easily select text from your card, choose a voice to interpret it into speech, and insert the audio file directly into the card without having to leave Anki at all. Brilliant!

Didn't get it to work (except english files), so I kept on looking for a way. Thank god it didn't work, so I came accross this...

Sometimes you think, there has to be an easier way, and then... there is. Mass-generation of audio-files.

Saved me years

I've acquired the Japanese core Plus deck from way back, but the thing is, the cards outside of 'CORE' usually lack audio. With some tweaks in notepad++ and excel, I used Anki's Tools>Check media feature to narrow down the searches in the browser to only those without mapped audio and I used this plugin's mass-generation feature.
It generated over 3000 audio files with acceptable to high quality.
This is invaluable to me because I study with an audio card (I play the sound of the vocab then I try to remember the vocab and its meaning).
So, in short, it saved me the trouble of having to download all of those manually.

Great work!

This plugin saved my life! I have eye surgery in a few hours and a big exam coming out and I just figured out how I can have this great plugin simply read my cards to me - brilliant!
The functionality is amazing and it does exactly what it's supposed to do!

One tiny suggestion: The "Advanced speaking options" where substitutes for tts can be defined (e.g -> for example etc.) is a little cumbersome to use. It would be great if one could duplicate those rules for the MP3 generator. If you wish to do that for the time being, you'd simply have to edit the TinySQL database in the extension directory.

And - for other German speakers: OSX speech synthesis (Yannik) is the best voice I could find for medical vocab.

It is very useful to automatically add audio to many cards

But could you make it work with Forvo? The audio on there is by real people, no computer generated. I think that making Forvo one of the options would add a lot of value.

Make the audio with simple one click

This is very helpful feature to add audio to my flash card right here in the edit mode with one or two clicks.

I would like to see if it can be improved:
- add the TTS in batch-mode for selected fields for all cards in a deck. In this case, instead of clicking on each of the field in a card, it can be done in one click for all cards.
- if there an option to specify the TTS engine over the internet by providing URL (an excellent example is http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php) since sometime given TTS engines do not provide a good voice.

Does exactly what it claims!

An incredibly useful addon that delivers what it claims.
Now I don't have to have that "Pronunciation audio" field for my notes; neither do I have to find audio clips for words, nor do I have to record my own audio for sentences.

The interface is user friendly and very intuitive.

Eagerly waiting for the auto-split-long-sentences fix. :)

Edit: Having the Pronunciation audio field is in infact beneficial.
Adding audio to a normal field will cause it to play multiple times if it is on both sides of the card.
Instead, you can customize templates using the audio field (so that the audio plays only once), and mass generate TTS audio from other fields into the audio field. That way, you don't have multiple replays even if a filed appears multiple times in a card, and you can still use the Mass TTS tool.
Also, this will work with AnkiDroid. So you get the best of all worlds!
on 1405900800
As the name says, it's awesome. Thank you very much.

I did used in several decks with different laguages and all worked smoothly. But I've seen there is no obvious way to doi it with cloze deletion type note. I mean, instead of grabbing a filed, grab the string like that: {c1:example::hint}} and and generate "example" in audio field.

Is this possible to implement ? Is there anyone who knows how to do it ?

Thank you for this valuable tool! I have a queston though. Could you please add a new option for speaking a text selected in the main reviewer's window? I mean: select a text > RMB + "Say it" or a shortcut (in preview mode and by using default settings).

REALLY AWESOME but one question about the 100 characters google restriction

First of all I really want to thank you for making this add on. I helps me so much, i m really happy especially about the add mass mp3 function trough browsing!!!

But I have one question.

I study chinese, english and türkisch with Anki.

But also I study law, so I study my law definitions with anki. I thaught it would be awesome to also get a audio feedback of this definitions. And it works just well. But the definitioons are mostly very long. And for the long definitions I never got a mp3.

After I researched I came to the conclusion that this must be because of googles restriction to 100 characters.

Since my definitions are in German i couldnt use the other options of awesometts other than google, because they gave me an english pronounciation of the definitions. These wouldnt work.

Unfortunately I dont know anything about programming. So I wanted to ask you if it would be possible to change this in the next update?

I thaught maybe awesometts could recognize cards longer than 100 characters and split these into parts after the last word within these? And than later in the card let play the two or more mp3s in a row?

I m sorry if i make any impolite request I dont know much about programming. But i would appreciate the change very very much, since I study very hard for my exam with anki. If it would be possible in anyway I would be very grateful.

However this is still the best add on on anki for language learners so far, from my point of view. It is just what we always needed.

Best plugin of all time - game-changer!

What can I say? This app is probably the best plugin I've ever used in Anki, ranked alongside Japanese and Chinese support plugins. What's better with Awesome TTS is it works with any language that has TTS. The TTS built in to the Mac happens to be very good (and recently updated) for many languages, so this plugin has enabled me to easily expand my studies into other languages and collect text phrases from all around without having to worry about double checking how to pronounce them. Batch import from Excel via TextEdit + Awesome TTS mass mp3 generator = audio files for anything on my iPhone. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I would tip you if I could.

Wonderful add-on ... until it had a bug

your add-on is truly great, and I wanted to thank you for that. However, I got a bug: my OSX say list doesn't appear; and the program tells me this :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/wahidslaoui/Documents/Anki/addons/awesometts/main.py", line 154, in <lambda>
QtCore.QObject.connect(form.previewbutton, QtCore.SIGNAL("clicked()"), lambda form=form: TTS_service[getService_byName(serv_list[form.comboBoxService.currentIndex()])]['filegenerator_preview'](form))
File "/Users/wahidslaoui/Documents/Anki/addons/awesometts/services/say.py", line 68, in filegenerator_preview
return playOSXsayTTS(unicode(form.texttoTTS.toPlainText()), voicelist[form.comboBoxSay.currentIndex()])
IndexError: list index out of range

How can I fix this ?

Is there a per-deck option somewhere

This plugin works very nice, I've tested it on a few of my German cards. The problem is, I'd like the Google TTS to automatically read the answer in all the cards. I don't think adding a this <TTS ...> html tag to every card a nice way out.
Have anybody found an option to set the per-deck preferences, so that it implicitly adds <tts service="g" voice="de"> at the beginning and </TTS> at the end of the answer? I'd be most grateful for your help!
It should be per-deck only, not per the whole program, as I have different languages too, and would like to use a different tag in the other decks.

AwesomeTTS is Not working for Chinese Language!

Great Idea as add-on for serious Language learners.

In my case I'm learning Chinese and wanted to try this out. However, I was unable to see the results as there were some errors/bug somewhere! Please fixed it soon ;-)

Keep the great job
Napo
PS: I even tried what a guy suggested with the Japanese change on the settings, but didnt work for me (in the Chinese language), but standard nor modified seems to work ...

An error occurred in an add-on. Please contact the add-on author.

feature request

One problem I keep having is that a small percentage of my mp3 files periodically disappear. My guess is that it has something to do with naming of mp3 files after the text it plays. I would like a current date and time to be appended to each mp3 file to avoid name collision and to lowercase everything to make sure that using those files work the same way on case sensitive and case insensitive file systems (I am using it under Linux and Android). That would also solve another problem: there are words that are spelled the same way in different languages but are pronounced differently. Currently such words would be overwritten by the latest one.

problem

how to add on the fly audio to downloaded shared decks, only to a field. just one word. to all 4000 cards.
I downloaded a deck of 2000 cards and would like to add audio to them all, but don't know how to add the audio to just a field, w/o having to do it 1 by 1 to all of them.

A wonderul plugin!

This plugin, just as its predecessor, is the reason why I was able to develop my French/German listening skills.
The only thing that would make it even better would be ignoring certain strings of characters, such as {{c1:: and }} used in Anki 2. It's a pain to add sound to multiple cards after they've been clozified:/

Very good solution

Plugin works very well.
It's convenient and saves a lot of time. The pronunciations provided by google are not perfect, but usually quite decent - and the best thing about this plugin: as it can download on-the-fly you can immediately benefit from the TTS improvements implemented by google.

Incredible

Man, this is helluwa' addon ! :D Thank you !!

Truly awesome!

It would be great if it would automatically insert a sound file from the text on the clipboard (select text, click icon, file inserted) instead of having to open the dialogue box and paste.
