Usage

lets start by making an object of the module first 
from lyzr import VoiceBot
vb = VoiceBot(api_key="your_openai_api_key")

​
Text-to-Speech

text = "Text you want converted into audio"
vb.text_to_speech(text)
    # ... (Online OpenAI API call to convert text to speech) ...
    # The TTS wil be saved as tts_output.mp3 in the directory it was called in

​
Transcription (Speech to Text)

audiofilepath = "path/to/audio/file"
transcript = vb.transcribe(audiofilepath)
    # ... (Online API call or local synthesis to transcribe audio content to text) ...
    # Returns the text transcription of the audio
print(transcript)

​
Text-to-Notes

text = "Big paragraphs or conversations that you wish to streamline or shorten"
notes = vb.text_to_notes(text)
    # ... (Online API call to GPT for summarization as bullet points) ...
    # Returns structured notes
print(notes)
These functions make it simple to integrate advanced linguistic and speech capabilities into your applications, allowing you to create new user experiences or enhance existing workflows. Use the VoiceBot module to effectively manage content generation, comprehension, and accessibility tasks.
