Podify Studio

Podify Studio is a Python application for generating podcasts by merging text-based dialogs into audio files. It provides functionalities to convert text to speech using different text-to-speech (TTS) engines, merge audio files, and generate podcasts seamlessly.

Features

Convert text to speech using gTTS (Google Text-to-Speech) and pyttsx3.
Generate multiple audio files from text-based dialogs.
Merge audio files to create a podcast.

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/AniruddhaGawali/podify-studio

Navigate to the project directory:
```
cd podify-studio
```
Install the dependencies:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Install

You can open and save WAV files with pure python. For opening and saving non-wav files – like mp3 – you'll need ffmpeg or libav. (for pydub)

Usage

Prepare your text-based dialogs in a file, with each dialog formatted as <name>:<text>, separated by a delimiter (default is ';'). For example:
```
Speaker 1: Hello, how are you?;
Speaker 2: I'm fine, thank you!;
Speaker 1: That's great!;
```

Use the provided Python scripts to generate audio files and merge them into a podcast:

# Convert text to audio files using gTTS
python text_to_audio_gtt.py --input dialogs.txt --output_folder output

# Merge audio files into a podcast
python generate_podcast.py --input_folder output --output podcast.mp3
