Usage

  • Prompt the LLM to create a voiceover: For example:

    • Create a one-minute podcast on Generative AI featuring a conversation between two speakers. Choose suitable voice styles and accents, incorporate natural pauses, and generate a voiceover for it.

    • Create a 15-second introduction for my YouTube channel about indoor plants. Use a friendly and conversational tone to generate a voiceover for it.

    These should generate a voiceover and save it to file on your Desktop.

  • You can also prompt the LLM to recommend a voice style for a specific use case. For example:

    • What is the best voice style for a YouTube video about indoor plants?
    • What is the best voice style for a podcast about Generative AI?

  • The TTS API supports a variety of features such as rate, pitch, speed, and custom pronunciations. You can explore these options here. You can prompt the LLM to apply these settings to the overall voiceover or tailor them individually for each speaker.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, please check the following:

  • spawn uvx ENOENT error: If you see a spawn uvx ENOENT error, it means the system can’t locate the uvx executable. To fix this:

    • Run the following command to get the absolute path of uvx: 
      $which uvx
    • Update your claude_desktop_config.json file with the absolute path in the command field. For example: 
      1"command": "/absolute/path/to/uvx"
    • Restart the Claude Desktop app.

  • Check the logs for any other error messages or warnings here:
