The project supports multiple TTS providers. Google TTS now defaults to Chirp 3 HD voices for male and female synthesis. The available Chirp 3 HD voices include:
- Achernar
- Achird
- Algenib
- Algieba
- Alnilam
- Aoede
- Autonoe
- Callirrhoe
- Charon
- Despina
- Enceladus
- Erinome
- Fenrir
- Gacrux
- Iapetus
- Kore
- Laomedeia
- Leda
- Orus
- Puck
- Pulcherrima
- Rasalgethi
- Sadachbia
- Sadaltager
- Schedar
- Sulafat
- Umbriel
- Vindemiatrix
- Zephyr
- Zubenelgenubi
GoogleTTS will use Leda for WOMAN and Charon for MAN by default.
The MoneyStuff runner randomly chooses a different Chirp 3 voice for each paragraph of an article.
If you have an Overcast Plus account, MoneyStuff can attempt to upload the
generated MP3 directly to your Overcast uploads page. Set the environment
variables OVERCAST_EMAIL and OVERCAST_PASSWORD before running the script.
The upload process scrapes the web form and may fail if Overcast changes its
interface.
