SSML conversion for audio #1307

Open rbeezer opened 4 years ago

rbeezer commented 4 years ago

There is an existing rudimentary conversion to "plain text". A conversion to SSML, Speech Synthesis Markup Language [1], would be a manageable project for someone with some experience with XSLT.

Then services like online-convert.com (free, used for EPUB input) [2] or Amazon Web Services Polly (pay) [3] may produce a useful audio rendering.

1312 is more ambitious, but this work might feed into that conversion, perhaps if the source is chunked into multiple audio files?
