For online projects -- a module using Artificial Intelligence to read text and Scripture and to save readings in an MP3 or similar audio file.

[Hanoch Ben Keshet]

Artificial Intelligence software already exists that can read a typed text in very natural, convincing ways. For production of online Bible teaching modules it could be very helpful to have a built-in Accordance AI reader (or a module that accesses one online) that would turn specified verses of any Bible version into audio, automatically, with the voice of your choice. Such a module could also read any teaching text you've typed out as well. This could allow easy creation of audio for online teaching series to be posted online. The AI audio could be saved in MP3 or similar audio files.

 

I'd definitely buy such a module.

macOS has a “say” command in the Terminal. It can convert plain text to an audio file, using a system voice of your choice. It can output an .m4a file. If you need MP3, have “say” produce AIFF and then convert it with ffmpeg or another program.
