Voiceovarian

Voiceovarian is a command-line tool written in Go that utilizes OpenAI's Text-to-Speech (TTS) model to convert written text into spoken audio. This tool allows users to input text interactively and generates corresponding voiceovers in MP3 format. The generated audio files are then played back in real-time.

Installation

Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Go: https://golang.org/doc/install
• OpenAI API Key: Get your API key from OpenAI and set it in the environment (.env) variable OPENAI_API_KEY.

git clone https://github.com/navicstein/voiceovarian.git

# Navigate to the project directory
cd voiceovarian

# Build the executable
go build -o voiceovarian .

# Set the OpenAI API key

Key Features:

• Utilizes OpenAI's TTS Model for high-quality speech synthesis.
