No description provided.

Workflow is running right now

We shall see how this modification does

https://github.com/DrewThomasson/ebook2audiobook/actions/runs/13792236665

This other workflow is also running which made the Long_sentence test shorter, but a single giant paragraph with no punctuation for sentence splitting.

https://github.com/DrewThomasson/ebook2audiobook/actions/runs/13792248967

It's Just using a smaller test file that also produces the same error

So should be Faster in testing out the workflow

@ROBERT-MCDOWELL

I think I fixed it but well see later if those workflows show my modification to the get_sentences function worked or if you approve of it

[DrewThomasson]

Ran on the Alice in wonderland test that broke the last one here
alice.mp4.zip
Not terrible,
alice.txt

Wait it keeps on saying pause.... did I accidentally add in the string "pause" into the sentence in function?

[DrewThomasson]

It keeps saying pause....

Is that because of this in the functions.py?

tts_manager.params['sentence'] = sentence.replace('.', '<pause>').replace(',', '<pause>')

In other news this other attempt did not work tho lol

#473

Potential fix for custom models tho with the being spoken

If a custom xtts model

swap "." -> "|" instead of the current "." -> ""

This is just me talking to myself tho

The
"." -> ""

Works well for the default xtts model

But for custom fine-tuned xtts models

"." -> "|" works (Confirmed on the fine-tuned David attenborough model for english)

and also potentially

"." - > ";\n"

or

"." - > "\n"

could be fixes, But those may be language specific... Unknown at this exact moment

I already explored this since long time... not a solution for all languages and can break at anytime.
