Plugin for Obsidian

Features:

• Start playback for note from statusbar and ribbon
• Only speaking selected text in edit mode:
• usable with other plugins (currently RSS Reader)

You can create language specific voices, the plugin will try to identify the language used. If it is not identified correctly you can overwrite this behaviour by having lang: {languageCode} in the Frontmatter. The language code can be seen in the settings and is a two letter ISO 639-1 code.

This plugin will NOT work on android due to this bug in the Webview.

This plugin uses the native API of your Operating System, to add a new language reference the documentation accordingly:

• Windows 10
• MacOS
• iOS

• Settings > Community plugins > Community Plugins > Browse and search for Text to Speech

You can use this plugins API to add Text to Speech capabilities to your plugin.

This uses the @vanakat/plugin-api package.

You can find the API documentation here: API Documentation

const tts = pluginApi('tts');
await tts.say(title, text, language);//language is optional, use a ISO 639-1 code
tts.pause();
tts.resume();
tts.stop();
tts.isSpeaking();
tts.isPaused();
