Let's look at how to use text-to-speech software. We gathered everyone's opinions on Twitter

Created By ondoku3.com

Hello, thank you for always using Ondoku.

Since we started releasing the Ondoku service, we have received a greater response than expected, and I am very surprised.

Furthermore, it is being used in much more diverse ways than I had imagined.

I am truly happy.

How exactly are you using Ondoku?

This time, let's look at some use cases together to see how people are using text-to-speech software on Twitter.

This might provide some hints for you to use text-to-speech software even more conveniently.

Voices of people using text-to-speech software found on Twitter

For presentation preparation

I'm not good at giving impromptu presentations, so I write them out in text and read them aloud using a text-to-speech tool. I use a time-consuming method where I measure the time with a timer and revise the content according to the presentation time, but it provides peace of mind and data.

The data can then be brushed up and used again.

Presentation preparation is quite difficult to do alone. Even for Ondoku, it was a real eye-opener: "I didn't know there was a method like this!"

As a YouTuber

The overwhelming difference I've felt
since starting YouTube.

・Titles
・Thumbnails
・Video editing
・Gathering materials

This feeling I felt
when I started my blog...

For the blog,
I purchased a paid WP theme.

For YouTube,
I bought a paid automatic reading software.

Spend money on what is necessary.

The purchase button = a stronger resolve.

A certain number of people use text-to-speech software when starting YouTube. It's very convenient!

Example of use for proofreading

Apparently, there are a certain number of cases where "rereading written text is painful."

If there are writers of that type, I want them to try the text-to-speech function.

・Can read with little energy
・Notice excessive use of particles and conjunctions

Nothing but good things. Since I started using text-to-speech, the burden of checking text has decreased.

For people who find it painful to reread what they've written, text-to-speech software does a wonderful job.

After all, it reads it for you.

It's also attractive that by having something else read it instead of yourself, you can notice small mistakes and expressions that you wouldn't have noticed on your own.

If you want to eliminate typos and omissions as much as possible without a proofreader, using text-to-speech software will reduce them significantly.
However, if you're writing R-18 doujinshi, every "ahan, un, fun" scene will be read aloud, and you'll end up fighting incredible embarrassment...

Asking a proofreader for help... is difficult unless it's a project of a certain scale.

Also, for simple typos and omissions, even without professional proofreading, you'll be surprised how much you can notice by having text-to-speech software read it.

The other day, I used text-to-speech for work for the first time.
I was able to find a single missing character, which was very good.

Watching the displayed characters while they are being read aloud
serves as a double-check, making it easy to understand.

Silently reading along while having the text read aloud is a very effective way to use it.

It allows you to use two of the human five senses—"hearing" and "seeing"—enabling you to check efficiently.

Using these two senses, "hearing" and "seeing," is also a recommended method for studying.

Yes. I sent it. The 100th All Yomimono Newcomer Award. Finished at 94 pages, and the synopsis was exactly 200 characters, approved on the first try. I checked with text-to-speech for the first time, and it’s good. I found 3 typos in 30,000 characters. It's tough because it takes time, though.

Text-to-speech is so convenient it makes me want to cry when reading class materials that are nothing but text or when proofreading reports.

— Pisumaga (@an_voicer__) May 18, 2020

Silently reading 30,000 characters is a very laborious task.

Also, if it's text you wrote yourself, the assumption of "this is how I wrote it" is added, making it even harder to notice mistakes.

By using text-to-speech software, you can listen objectively, making it easier to find mistakes.

Feedback makes the software better

There were more opinions than I expected!

At Ondoku, we are constantly making small updates so that you, who use it every day, can use it more easily.

If you have any opinions like "it would be better to do it this way" or "I want you to do this," please let us know.

It might be surprising, but speaking up is very important.

I check emails more than you might think, and I am sincere about every single opinion.

The opinion we are currently receiving the most is "I want it to be turned into an app."

We are currently working hard to fulfill the wish for an app.

However, creating an app seems like it will take a little more time.

Turning it into an app is quite a challenge!

We have to study new programming languages different from what we've used before, purchase development APIs, and once the app is finished, it won't be listed on the Apple Store or Google Play Store unless it passes a review.

A lot of effort is required to pass that review.

Since there are many processes involved, it might take a little more time for the app, but we are working hard to make it a reality someday, so please give us a little more time.

Please continue to visit the Ondoku site.

I look forward to seeing you again.
