- Sapo3 is a suite of scripts-tools that can help the user convert a text file to an audio file.
- It uses the tts-edge API for text-to-speech conversion.
- Big txt files can be easily converted to audio books, using a wide range of customization capabilities.
When the user runs Sapo3, they will be presented with a menu of options:
