[feature] pronounce the whole sentence

Open ztzxt opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

A button can be added to pronounce the whole sentence instead of making it pronounce it word by word.

Thanks for the feature request!

Yes, that would be cool. The current algorithm does not find word matches for more than one syllable, let alone the sentences. Therefore, I think multi-syllable matches or whole word matches should be added first.

Examples: hayır --> higher, çita --> cheetah, paprika --> paprika

Since it can pronounce the words (through each syllable), would it be possible to add them together to create a sentence?

It seems to me the app already does that. If you check out the 'examples' button, most of the examples are in the form of sentences and the pronunciations are generated through each syllable.

I was thinking of covering more than one syllable or a whole Turkish word with some English word which has a similar pronunciation.

What I meant suggesting was a button to pronounce everything inside the textbox with one click. Right now this has to be done via clicking each word under text box then clicking the speaker button. I know this would make it harder to fine-tune every word but I believe it would also improve overall practicality.

Ah okay I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were talking about the text-to-voice button, I get it now.
