Documentation on how to add voicevox support to anki cards
Method 1
-
Download the Generate Batch Audio add-on from https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1156270186 by copying and pasting the code 1156270186 into Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons
-
Go to https://voicevox.su-shiki.com/su-shikiapis/ and at step 1, click the hyperlink at "こちら", then pass the reCAPTCHA to receive your API key at a new page in a field under "apiKeyをコピー", save this for later use. The API key has a daily limit but it is very high and multiple keys can be made by a single user.
-
Now, go to the anki card browser and select all cards you would like to add voicevox tts to. Click Edit > Generate Bulk Audio. In the new window click "Add Source" and move the new field to the top in priority. This is important so the add-on uses voicevox first instead of the other sources.
-
Now, to select the voice needed go to https://voicevox.hiroshiba.jp/ to preview all voices then, replacing {apiKey} with your saved key go to https://api.su-shiki.com/v2/voicevox/speakers/?key={apiKey} and find the id of your desired voice actress.
-
Now, in the Bulk Generate Audio window Enter the Voicevox name then in custom URL add the url https://api.su-shiki.com/v2/voicevox/audio/?text={field}&key={API-KEY}&speaker={id} where API-KEY is your saved API key (no braces), {id} is your desired speaker (no braces), and {field} is the name of the field from which you would like tts generated WITH BRACES INCLUDED. The field may be any japanese text, including simply expressions as well as full sentences.
-
In the audio field section pick the field you would like the audio placed in, and leave the "filter kana" and "delay between requests" fields empty.
-
Click Generate and wait for your cards to generate! Let me know of any problems encountered in the "Issues" tab.
Method 2
- If you have voicevox downloaded, run with
--host localhost --cors_policy_mod all - Run node.js script like example used here
- Use http://localhost:3000/audio?text={AnkiField} as field in anki with Generate Batch Audio OR this as an example in your card to save disk space. To create a keybinding that resets audio one can use this
Method 3
- With voicevox downloaded, for a lightweight option one may opt to fetch the audio directly from within anki, without the need of a proxy using this within the anki card template editor.
