How to Use

Ensure you have a GPU available, as the current implementation requires CUDA for generating audio from text.

Embedding Audio into PPTX

To embed audio into the slides of a PowerPoint file based on the notes in each slide, use the following command:

tts_pptx example.pptx

This command will:

1. Extract the notes from each slide in the example.pptx file.
2. Generate audio files from the extracted notes.
3. Embed the generated audio files into the corresponding slides.
4. Save the modified PowerPoint file as output_<current_time>.pptx.

Generating Audio Files from PPTX Notes

To generate audio files from the notes of each slide in a PowerPoint file, use the following command:

tts_output_wav example.pptx

This command will:

1. Extract the notes from each slide in the example.pptx file.
2. Generate audio files from the extracted notes.
3. Save the generated audio files in a directory named output_wav_<current_time>.

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter an error related to CUDA, make sure you are running the tool on a machine with a GPU and that CUDA is properly installed.
• Ensure the provided `pptx`` file path is correct and the file is accessible.
