What This Skill Does
Converts plain text or HTML content, such as emails and newsletters, into an MP3 podcast file. It extracts story bullets, splits them into TTS-safe chunks, synthesizes speech per chunk, and concatenates the results with intro and outro segments using ffmpeg.
Handles TTS character-limit chunking and ffmpeg concatenation automatically, removing the manual steps needed to produce a stitched audio file from long-form text.
When to use it
- Converting a morning newsletter into a commute audio briefing
- Turning long email digests into listenable summaries
- Generating audio versions of saved articles
- Batch-converting weekly digests into podcast episodes
- Creating hands-free briefings from scraped news content
