using own voice instead of responsiveVoice

[abotzki]

Hi,

Most probably others also have wondered whether there could be options to use your own voice for the text-to-voice functionality. Some end users do not like automated voices too much. And now that we have all those AI tools around.

Thanks a lot for your thoughts on this matter.

At the moment this is not baked into the syntax, but I know of a presentation done by @SebastianZug who used voice-recordings (unfortunately, I cannot find the link anymore) ... The trick was to combine animations with scripts/macros that replayed the recording.

Although it should not be difficult to add this feature, we were not sure about the best syntax... such that a macro/library could maybe do the same ... Maybe we can extend Sebastians approach to a macro that can be used for this purpose ...

Thanks a lot for your feedback. The approach you describe could be useful if you have recordings of presentations. I was also wondering about how you implemented the voice Tanja. So basically it could boil down to a personalized model with your voice which is used. Or do I see this too naively. In this context, I found some interesting blog here: https://oneusefulthing.substack.com/p/a-quick-and-sobering-guide-to-cloning
