Yousmle Anki deck

@Pacna do you have to manually add the voice to each card or is there a way to add voice into the whole deck in 1 go?

Depends. For Windows, you can set it up so that Microsoft's TTS actively reads every card each time. So if you edit it, it just reads what's subsequently on the screen, rather than saving any audio files.

(Mac users correct me if I'm wrong) For Mac, I believe you have to just select all your cards in "browse" and select "[add TTS to dat shiot]". It then automatically adds an audio file to each card individually. Edits require re-doing the audio file to whatever card you edited.

That's exactly what I was doing. Going through each card and edit them. Kind of annoying since I have 10k+ cards. Thanks though.

Oh, no dude. Don't do that. Go into browse, select all, and apply it that way.

I never have to edit any cards in regards to awesomeTTS. Microsoft's TTS reads anything it sees on the screen. No audio files involved. 🙂

Hey can u explain what you meant by this ?
Thanks !
 
I Browsed...selected all.. and clicked on AwesomeTTS from above and selected ADD TO ALL..

So it kinda generated MP3s for all of my cards...


I get that bit... but what happens if i edit em.. coz i edit em a lot to keep improving em

Thanks ! 🙂
 
Also, after adding audio to all my cards...it wont play the answers.. just plays the questions..i dont know what i am doing wrong here ?

Sure; I'll be detailed.

Microsoft's TTS is present in the OS natively. You can edit AwesomeTTS to exploit this, and it will read each card as if it's never seen it before. This means you don't have to store any audio files.

This is how I did it:
Edit the type of card you want to use TTS for. If you have multiple iterations of a type of card (happens when you download other peoples' decks), you'll need to edit each iteration of type, not each individual card. I use cloze cards, so I go to any cloze card and hit edit.
Then, hit "Cards"
Now we'll be editing the Front Template and Back Template. You can enter the values you want, but AwesomeTTS has the option to populate these for you. To use this, hit "Add TTS" at the bottom.
My settings:
Generate using Microsoft Speech API
Voice: Microsoft Zira Desktop
Speed: 3
Volume: 100%
Quality: 48 kHz, 16-bit, Stereo [default]
XML: automatic [default]
Then I saved the preset as "Zira 2"
I don't recall in what order I added them using the tool on the right half of that screen, but it ends up looking like this:
Front Template:
<tts preset="Zira 2">{{cloze:Text}} </tts>

Back Template:
<tts preset="Zira 2">{{cloze:Text}}</tts><br>

{{Extra}}



Then, on the main screen of Anki, Tools --> AwesomeTTS
Configure like these pics:

(one of those pics is of the 'fields' that I edited rather than using a preset; you can use either method)
 
Almost through the Bro deck, and I gotta say: if you like Anki and you'd like to have FA in your head when taking step, it is hands down the best deck out there. I added AwesomeTTS, and that's made it much more bearable. Keep soldiering on, brobros.
So you would say the Yousmle anki deck is worth it.....in terms of integrating material that is essential for Step 1...?

Idk what the Yousmle deck is, but the brocencephalon deck is working for me (hopefully).
