TTS study reader (minimal public demo)

Small Tkinter + Edge TTS harness: load .txt study notes, split into paragraphs, listen with headphones.

This repo intentionally avoids interview-specific HTML drills, employer names, and personal filesystem paths from private workspaces.

For a full “unified” desktop (mock exams + reader), see unified-tts.

TL;DR — use effectively

Step	Action
1	python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt
2	Install edge-tts CLI on PATH (pip install edge-tts) and ffplay (ffmpeg) or mpv for playback.
3	Put notes under materials/ as .txt (paragraphs separated by a blank line).
4	./run_tts_gui.sh
5	Browse folder if needed → pick file → select paragraph → Play.

Environment

Variable	Meaning
STUDY_MATERIAL_DIR	Override default materials/ directory (absolute path recommended).

Limits

• Edge TTS truncates very long paragraphs; split notes yourself.
• Kokoro / GPU pipelines belong in private repos — swap synthesis in your fork.
