Text-to-Speech and Audible-Style Story Playback

Feature Request

I think one feature that would really help writers is a text-to-speech option that reads our stories back to us. Sometimes hearing the words is just as important as seeing them.

Some ideas:

  • 🎧 Audible-style playback of stories

  • 🗣️ Natural AI voices that read chapters aloud

  • 🔄 Background listening while editing or writing

  • ⚡ Adjustable playback speeds

  • 🎭 Different voices for different characters

  • 🌧️ Optional ambient sounds or background music

  • ✍️ Helps catch mistakes, improve pacing, and hear dialogue more naturally

I think being able to both read and listen to our stories would help writers connect with their work on a deeper level and make the editing process much more effective.

    Why is this not a default feature, absolute basic requirement surely? It would immediately improve everything as stated by others here.

    I agree wholeheartedly. Personally, I use it to gain some objectivity. It’s something that I do with all my writing, so having it built in to Sudowrite would make life a lot easier.
