Would it be possible to add TTS support?

Thanks for the add-on.

I was thinking of supporting this in the future. I'll add it in a future version :)

In the mean time, I've been using the system TTS. It's not great but you can define it in your cards editor like so:
{{tts ja_JP:ExampleTTS}}. More info here: https://docs.ankimobile.net/tts.html

Hey @cantalupo555, as I'm thinking about implementation I'd love to know a little bit more about how you're imagining using this one. Were you imagining something like a smart field with an audio type instead of a text type (the rest of the prompt behavior staying the same), or more akin to a new option to read out any existing field using TTS?

I'm using Language Tools.
It automates the creation of my language deck. Just like the translation... and TTS.

Interesting – could definitely add something like this.

As it stands, does this add-on play well with Language Tools?

I am using it in a similar fashion actually.

  1. Fill out one field with relevant information
  2. Let all the other fields Autogenerate.

And I am doing this like very quickly.

Currently using chinese support plugin for the audio thought. Having a single plugin would ofc streamline everything.

Text do speech is already there: hypertts. It really works well with Azure, ElevenLabs et al.

Re the above, I agree it would be compelling to have TTS + Language tools functionality in a single add-on, though it would expand the scope of this project significantly. I'll probably do it anyways.

Update on TTS - I'm working on this for the next major release (v2), targeting a couple weeks from today. If there are any specific TTS features from AwesomeTTS/HyperTTS/Language Tools that you'd like to see included in Smart Notes, let me know.

V2 is out today with TTS from Google, ElevenLabs, and OpenAI (more providers to come in the future).

@cantalupo555 and @werererer - I'd love to know if this plugin could replace your Language Tools subscription, and if not, what features we'd need to close the gap. Cheers, thanks in advance for the feedback 🥂
