The problem it solves

Recording voiceovers for scripts one by one is slow, and paid text-to-speech tools add up fast when you're producing a lot of content. You end up either doing the narration yourself or waiting on a freelancer for every new script.

Who it fits

A content creator, course builder, or media team producing narrated audio from written scripts at volume.

How it works

Picks up new text scripts stored in Google Drive
Generates spoken audio for each script using a voice model
Splits long scripts into natural-sounding chunks and stitches them back together
Uploads the finished audio file back to Google Drive

We can build this. But should you?
