Live TTS With Word Highlight
Publicada el 2026-07-28
Descripción de la oferta
I already have a JavaScript-based reader that parses and displays text in the browser. The next step is to make it speak the text smoothly while visually tracking each spoken word. Here’s what I need you to add or refine: 1. A Text-to-Speech layer that sounds natural—even a premium service is fine, as long as subscription fees stay reasonable. Feel free to recommend Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, Amazon Polly, Microsoft Azure, or another option if you can justify the quality-to-cost ratio. 2. Real-time word highlighting using a background-color change (my preferred style) so the reader clearly sees the current word as it is spoken. 3. Clean JavaScript integration: • a neatly commented section where I can paste my API key • callbacks or event hooks to keep speech and highlighting perfectly in sync, even when a user pauses, resumes, or seeks within the text I will provide the existing reader code and a sample passage so you can test timing accuracy. Once your updated readers reads the text fluidly, highlights every word on cue, and handles basic controls (play, pause, stop, seek), we can conclude the project
