Want to add text-to-speech to your projects? Here's how to set up Piper TTS with Python in a few simple steps:
You don't need to do 1 & 2. Go directly to #3 in Calibre. (AI sources told me I needed it)
Install the Latest Python
Ensure you have the latest version of Python installed on your system.
Install Piper TTS
Open your command prompt and run:
pip install piper-tts
Manage Voices
Ctrl + S on an open book to launch the audio interface. Be advised: Calibre already has one default voice installed. This is only if you want more.
This is the settings section. The highlighted voice is the currently active voice. If you select a voice that is not downloaded a download option will appear.
Blogger is great for quick posting. However, if you ever need to edit the HTML when Blogger has done something that requires alteration, it's a real hassle to find anything. Everything is in one long continuous string.
A simple solution is to ask Grok to convert the plain text of the post into HTML. Grok does not change the phrasing or add personality to the post unless you request it. It formats the original text into HTML traditionally, not in one continuous stream.
Now you can edit the HTML more easily and find what you are looking for.
Claude will default to adding personality, attitude, and rearranging everything. This is fun if that is what you are seeking. I love interacting with Claude.
For the Gimp post below, I asked Claude to create a blog post. I downloaded as an HTML file, opened in Brave, viewed source, copied and pasted it into Blogger's HTML edit section. It didn't show on the Compose section. I told Claude what happened and he fixed it.
Claude told what was done. When I try again, I will add this to Claude's instructions:
"I am using Blogger so keep the HTML simple and use inline styles instead of CSS blocks. Do not included the full HTML document structure withChatGPT suggested this prompt to create a post for Blogger.<!DOCTYPE html>,<html>,<head>, and<body>tags. Blogger's HTML editor expects only the content that goes inside the post body, not a complete HTML document." Please create a Blogger post from the following text. ""
Convert the following content into a Blogger-compatible HTML post.
Please avoid full HTML structure like
<html>,<head>, and<body>. Only output content suitable for pasting directly into the Blogger editor in HTML mode.Use only simple inline styling if needed (no
<style>or<script>tags), and stick to basic tags like<h1>–<h6>,<p>,<a>,<img>,<ul>/<ol>,<blockquote>, and<div>.Format the content clearly with subheadings and paragraph spacing, and include line breaks where appropriate.
The key is choosing the right tool for your needs and providing clear instructions about your platform's requirements. Whether you want straightforward formatting or creative enhancement, there's an AI assistant that can help make your blogging workflow smoother.
