## 外掛說明

OST Read Aloud adds a “Listen to this article” player to your posts. The audio is
made once with Google Cloud Text-to-Speech and saved in your media uploads folder,
so visitors never call Google and you are only charged when you generate audio.

While the audio plays, the word being read is highlighted, along with its paragraph,
and the page scrolls gently to follow along.

Everything is set up from **Settings  Text to Speech**. No code changes are needed.

#### Features

 * Connect with a Google API key or a service account JSON key.
 * “Test connection” and “Preview voice” buttons on the settings page.
 * Choose language, voice, speed, pitch and audio format (MP3 or WAV).
 * Choose which post types get audio, and whether the title is read first.
 * Generate audio from a panel in the block editor or a box in the classic editor,
   or automatically when a post is published or updated.
 * Long posts are split into small parts and made one part at a time, so there are
   no timeouts.
 * Word and paragraph highlighting that keeps your links and formatting intact.
 * Player above or below the post, or anywhere with the `[ost_tts_player]` shortcode.
 * Sticky player while listening, custom highlight colours, auto-scroll that pauses
   when the visitor scrolls.
 * Add the class `ost-tts-skip` to any block (Advanced  Additional CSS class) to
   leave it out of the audio.

#### External service

This plugin sends post text to the Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API (texttospeech.
googleapis.com) when an editor or administrator generates audio or a voice preview,
or when automatic generation is turned on and a post is published or updated. When
a service account is used, a sign-in token is requested from oauth2.googleapis.com.
No data is sent to Google when visitors view or play audio.

Google charges per character after the free monthly allowance. See the [Google Cloud Text-to-Speech pricing](https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/pricing)
and the [Google Cloud terms](https://cloud.google.com/terms) and [Google privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).

## 安裝方式

 1. Upload and activate the plugin.
 2. In Google Cloud, enable the **Cloud Text-to-Speech API** and create an API key (
    restrict it to that API) or a service account key.
 3. Go to **Settings  Text to Speech**, paste the key, save, and click **Test connection**.
 4. Pick a voice on the **Voice** tab and click **Preview voice**.
 5. Open a post, find the **Text to Speech** panel in the editor sidebar and click **
    Generate audio**.

Sites that prefer to keep the key out of the database can add `define( 'OST_TTS_API_KEY','
your-key' );` to wp-config.php.

## 常見問題集

### Which voices can highlight words?

Word highlighting needs word timings (SSML marks). Voice families that do not return
them, such as Chirp HD, Journey and Studio, are not listed. If a voice returns no
timings, the audio still works and highlighting stays off.

### I changed the post. Do I need to generate again?

Yes. The editor panel shows “out of date” when the post text or voice settings no
longer match the audio. With automatic generation turned on, this happens in the
background. If the page text and the audio do not match, the audio still plays but
highlighting is switched off until you regenerate.

### Where are the audio files stored?

In `wp-content/uploads/ost-tts/`. Files are removed when you delete the audio or
delete the post.

### What happens when I delete the plugin?

Settings and audio are kept, unless you tick “delete all generated audio files and
settings” on the Advanced tab first.
