What it does
Text-to-speech voice-over generation from YAML speaker notes using Azure AI Speech neural voices with SSML pronunciation control
TTS Voice Over Skill
Generates per-slide WAV voice-over files from YAML speaker_notes using Azure AI Speech neural voices with SSML pronunciation control.
Overview
This skill reads content.yaml files from a PowerPoint skill content directory, extracts speaker_notes fields, applies acronym aliases for correct pronunciation of technical terms, and produces one WAV file per slide. Supports dry-run mode for SSML template verification without Azure credentials.
Synthesis uses Azure AI Speech neural voices, including the HD voices such as en-US-Andrew:DragonHDLatestNeural. HD voices are offered in a subset of Azure regions; check the Speech service regions before choosing SPEECH_REGION.
Narration produced by this skill is synthetic. Tell listeners that the voice is AI-generated, following Microsoft's disclosure design guidelines for synthetic voices. HVE demo-material CI does not synthesize speech; it generates silent videos.
