Audio Batch Generation using AwesomeTTS

This article covers how to create audio flashcards using batch generation in AwesomeTTS. Before you start, you should have a simple deck, using the Basic note type, with a Front and a Back field, like the one below.

The preview for your cards (which you can see by clicking the Preview button in the editor above the fields)

Let's add some audio

While in the card browser, select a few notes, then go to menu AwesomeTTS, Add Audio to Selected.... You'll see the following dialog appear. Choose the service you want to use (some are free, some require an API key, if you wish to try paid ones, you can sign up for the AwesomeTTS Plus trial). Choose a French voice. You can enter some text on the right to preview the audio.

• Source Field should be Front (this field contains the French language text)
• Destination Field should be Back (this field contains the English language text)
• Append [sound:xxx] Tag onto Destination Field should be checked.
• Remove Existing [sound:xxx] Tag(s) should be checked.

Then, click the Generate button. You'll see a progress bar while audio gets added to your fields.

Look at your notes

Once audio generation is done, look at your notes in the browser. Notice how the Back field now has a [sound] tag which references the audio file.

Look at your card preview

Click the Preview button again, and click the right arrow to see the back of the card. You should hear the French sound, and you can replay the audio by clicking the Replay Audio button, on typing the R key.

You can now review your cards, and you'll hear audio after showing the back of the card.
