🎙️ Text-to-Speech Options

You can customize the voice engine using pyttsx3 by specifying the speaking rate, volume, voice, and pause between sentences.

audioarxiv --id "<arxiv id>" --rate <rate> --volume <volume> --voice "<voice>" --pause-seconds <pause-seconds>

• rate: Number of words per minutes. Defaults to 140.
• volume: Volume of the audio. Defaults to 0.9.
• voice: Voice of the audio. Defaults to the pyttsx3 default voice.
• pause-seconds: Number of seconds to pause between sentences.

The settings are saved, so you only need to provide your preferred settings once.
