What it does
This text-to-speech (TTS) extension converts text generated by your bot into spoken audio using OpenAI's voice AI. The audio is hosted as media in Blip, ready for the bot to deliver to users within the conversation flow.
Key features
- Text-to-speech conversion (TTS): send a message's text and get back an MP3 audio file for the bot to respond with.
- Ten OpenAI voices to choose from (Alloy, Ash, Ballad, Coral, Echo, Fable, Nova, Onyx, Sage, and Shimmer), each with its own tone and style.
- Voice preview directly in the portal, with an editable test text, before setting the bot's default voice.
- Optional style instructions to customize the tone, pace, and personality of the speech (for example, speaking more slowly and clearly).
- Per-call voice and instruction override, so you can vary the voice at different points in the flow.
Requirements
- An OpenAI account with available credits.
- The Builder Chrome extension installed to add the integration block in Blip Builder.
Benefits
- Deliver information by voice for users who prefer to listen or cannot read at that moment, such as when driving.
- Make interactions more accessible for visually impaired users.
- Create a more natural, human-like conversation by combining this extension with AI extensions such as ChatGPT, FAQGPT, and Blip Autopilot.
Who it's for
Companies that want more interactive, accessible chatbots capable of responding by voice, not just by text.
