Obsidian plugins with #audio-playback#

The Aloud plugin for Obsidian enhances the note-taking experience by adding text-to-speech functionality. By integrating with OpenAI's API, it converts highlighted text into lifelike audio, offering a range of voices for playback. Features include immediate audio streaming, sentence-by-sentence playback, and customizable speed adjustments. The plugin also allows for audio caching to reduce costs, exporting, and embedding audio files. It provides visual feedback by highlighting the active sentence and integrates seamlessly with your operating system, offering pause/play controls. This plugin is a great tool for those who prefer listening to their notes, whether for accessibility, multitasking, or enhancing focus.

The AutoPause plugin keeps audio playback under control by making sure only one clip runs at a time. When a new file starts, it pauses the earlier one or resets it to the beginning if you enable that behaviour. It also adds commands to move to the next or previous audio clip in the active tab and a global play or pause toggle that can resume the last paused clip when it is still available. Another setting blocks keyboard focus on audio player elements, which helps shortcuts work without tab navigation getting in the way. The plugin works across desktop and mobile, including tabs, popout windows and different document views.
