[Feature request] FTS (File to speech)

[tigros]

hey,

there outta be a way to convert books to speech with this. say i have a 1 MB text file, typical ebook or w/e, why not make coqui-ai-TTS handle that no problem?

i tried this coqui-ai#1101 (comment) but ends up crashing, "RuntimeError: Calculated padded input size per channel: (4). Kernel size: (5). Kernel size can't be greater than actual input size"

that might be fine for a paragraph, but not whole book.

surely you can tune this to be more solid, handling weird input etc you can get from whole book. i believe it would be very useful for lots of people.

regards

I think the potential use cases for synthesising text from a file are too different that one specific way should be added to Coqui. Writing a wrapper script for your specific application should be straightforward, we do this internally as well.
