TTS TUI

This is the terminal UI version of Clipboard Narrator but uses newer WinRT API to allow using any voice on windows.

Comparison to Microsoft Edge TTS

Edge TTS TTS-TUI
requires using MS Edge works anywhere you can copy
uses cloud voices uses system voices
delay each time you start a voice little to no delay

Windows built-in narrator has a different use case but does use the system voices.

PDF readers don't allow copying newlines between paragraphs so they can't be split directly, convert it to a txt file with the original layout first.

cargo install tts-tui cargo r --release Github releases

The binary is called tts for brevity
