anyone knows who operates the Guy Swann TTS DVM?
It's correctly processing kind:1 events but not long-forms 😅
Discussion
Lol what does it do? Use his voice for TTS?
@lemon Swannbot
My last reply didn't invoke tag the pubkey so it didn't work, but there's a DVM and bot that uses the legendary voice of Guy Swann to read whatever content you like
Let me try again:
nostr:npub1hee433872q2gen90cqh2ypwcq9z7y5ugn23etrd2l2rrwpruss8qwmrsv6 Swannbot
If it works, then I should get a reply with a .wav file that reads your note
Yo, I made that! I saw you using it and was pumped to see it get some action. Do you have a specific note that you’re trying to have work? I’ll test it out and get it going for you.
Awesome! Yeah, I want to use it a heck of a lot, I’m making a sweet integration between long-form, wink articles, book kinds, and text-to-speech DVM and yours is the DVM that makes the highest quality audio, but the output is not very reliable and doesn’t conform too well with the NIP-90 spec (for example, the request even is not inserted in the output)
Would be amazing if you can improve it!
Also, it’s missing a NIP-89 announcement so I can’t list it on Highlughter
example NIP-89 announcement of a text-to-speech DVM:
Alright, I just pushed some updates. Which means it's either broken or fixed.
- Published a NIP-89 announcement
- Added 5250 request in output
The code for the DVM is not organized well so I might redo the whole thing if you think you'll use it often.
I had to update the pricing for the DVM because it was set at $0.01 for every request, regardless of length (the value would fluctuate in sats relative to bitcoin price). It's now set to $0.36/1000 characters of content.
Let me know if it's no longer competitive, but it's the best price I can give right now with the services I'm using.
It currently only works for "event" type inputs, but I can add "text", if needed. It should work for other languages too.
Does the DVM not work on any Long Form Content Kind 30023?
Are you requesting TTS for Long Form Content events or text?
And yeah, I plan on making this a very integral part of highlighter so I expect a lot of demand coming in hopedully
Hell yeah 🤙
Pumped to see it get some action!
I’ll start working on it more and get some improvements going now that I know it’s not a dead project
Thanks for your help and feedback 🙏
I got you! I’ll start working on it again tonight
Might take me some time to figure it out again, but I’ll let you know when I have some updates pushed
I would love to transfer all my written books in PDF format into audio books, read by Guy Swann's voice. is that something this DVM could do as well?
The DVM currently only does Speech to Text for Nostr events, but I can update it to work with urls if the PDF is available online
Full disclosure though, the cost is $0.36/1000 characters (not words) so for a full length book it could be more than $100 depending on the length
I just realized that the DVM is only searching for events through the Damus relay
Any events you try that aren’t in that relay likely won’t work
I’ll work on that tomorrow
