That should be everybody!
There are standard practices for delegating responsibility, never ever be pasting API keys into websites.
A good protip - tell an agent to rewrite the article slightly for better listening flow. Some subtle changes in sentence structure etc can make listening way more pleasant.

I use the TTS on Google Cloud. It's effectively free.
I was trying to use TTS to regenerate some old audiobooks and getting names pronounced correctly is pretty hard unless the model supports something like SSML.
For a wrapper around costly LLM providers.
For a result one could get with voicebox for free.
For those interested in better voices, you can try and let me know.

Via MCP more voices are available (all OpenAI and Gemini voices, depending on which api key you use).
I thought this would mean I could use my subscription, as OpenAI/Codex supports this kind of authentication flow, and it's very easy to integrate with that as a service, and users login with the OpenAI authentication flow, or via device codes.
Instead this asks for an API key, which is very different from "Use your OpenAI subscription" and to be honest, I'm not sure how anyone who has a OpenAI subscription could mistake this for such. Has this even been tested once?
Maybe I missed something obvious, I had a five second look and closed it when it seemed to be outright intentionally misleading.
Much less interesting.
edit: i guess this explains it, its sorta half half
Your subscription will be used for:
document processing (via MCP)already paid by your subscription
generating speechOpenAI charges per usageThanks for listing the model you're using, I've not really done any TTS stuff and this sounds like a fun thing to spin up.
I'd love to see an actual result what it can do
My experience is that gathering and testing with that corpus was about 30% of the overall effort. I have not yet gathered the motivation to tackle pdf: it’s more of a layout format than a text format. Not just tables but multi-column layouts and similar oddities leave a pile of imperfect heuristics in their wake.
Multi-lingual support is even worse. I was working with arabic script in pdf years ago and they don’t even capture the encoded text, just rendering instructions due to the high number of ligatures. I don’t know if things have improved since then.
