Of course, I'm just
using a software product, and not creating it. My only value-add here, is the
scripting of source document for each clip, and refinement of the strategy and concept, in
sequencing and repetition, etc. Typically, some
tagging is needed, to control
pace and other characteristics. I oft also need to tweak the spelling, in order
to accommodate the quirks of algorithm in the particular TTS engine; or to override
defaults, when multiple pronunciations exist, for the same letter pattern. |
Besides creating voice clips for the purpose of sending out mini drills to
others,
they're also great for inserting in playlists between songs. It's like
having brief lessons as 30-second "commercial" breaks. I have written
some "batch scripts" to automate that process. In fact, I routinely listen to my
own "radio programs" with a mix of songs I'm currently learning, and favorites
of the month/week, with a batch of linguistic drill clips and mini tutorials
(self-produced or otherwise acquired) inserted programmatically, with randomized
sequence. |
