Job Post Title: Python / Automation Expert Needed for Pocket FM-Style Multi-Voice TTS Audiobook Bot (Dialogue Aware) Job Description: Hi, I run a novel-publishing platform and create high-volume audiobooks daily. I am looking for an expert Python developer to build a dedicated Text-to-Speech (TTS) Automation, Translation & Content Editing Tool. Since I process large files daily, I need a robust, permanent solution. If you cannot deliver the core features within a free/stable architecture without crashing, please do not bid. Core Project Requirements (Triple Input Mode): 1. Multi-Functional Modes: * Mode A (Full Audiobook Pipeline): The bot takes an English TXT file, translates it to Hindi, applies Pocket FM-style localization, and exports to a Multi-Voice MP3. * Mode B (Direct Hindi TTS): If I upload a file that is already in Hindi, the bot must skip the translation step entirely and directly process the Hindi text for character/voice detection and MP3 export. * Mode C (Plain Text Translation): The bot must also function as a simple translator. If selected, it should take a 10 MB English TXT file and directly translate it into plain Hindi text WITHOUT any modifications, edits, or name alterations, and export it back as a plain .txt file (no audio generation). 2. Pocket FM-Style Localization & Editing (Bulk Replace): The tool must automatically Indianize the entire text without altering the core story or plot. It must accept a secondary configuration/mapping file (Excel or text) to bulk-replace content. For example: * Names: Xiao Chen Rohan, Lin Fan Lakhan * Currency/Terms: Yuan Rupees, Sect/Clan Ashram/Gharana * Locations: Chinese cities Indian cities (e.g., Delhi, Mumbai) 3. Dialogue-Aware Multi-Voice Output: The system must automatically scan the novel text file. Anything inside quotation marks ("...") must be rendered in a Female/Character Voice, and the standard text outside quotes must be rendered in a Male/Narrator Voice (using free Microsoft Edge-TTS or similar clear, natural Indian voices like Madhur/Swara). 4. No Code Formatting Needed From Me: I will NOT manually format text files with tags like "Narrator:" or "Rahul:". The code must be smart enough to parse native novel structures dynamically in both English and Hindi inputs. 5. Large File Handling (Up to 10 MB): The pipeline must easily handle text files up to 10 MB at once without freezing, hanging, or throwing memory/timeout errors. It should split the book into chapters/parts automatically and merge them cleanly into separate exported MP3s or text files. 6. No Hidden API Costs / 100% Free Execution: The system must utilize completely free, high-limit models or engines (e.g., Edge-TTS or zero-cost high-limit routing endpoints). I will not pay monthly API/hosting subscriptions. 7. Robust Deployment Interface: I prefer a stable, responsive web interface that features custom speed control (1.0x to 1.5x), volume boost, password protection, and a visual progress tracker (Part 1/120 processing...). 8. Dedicated "Generate Audio" Button (Separate Trigger): The system must NOT start generating audio automatically when a file is uploaded. After the file is successfully uploaded and processed by the system, the Multi-Voice audio conversion pipeline must ONLY start executing when I explicitly click a separate, dedicated "Generate Audio" action button on the interface. Strict Terms & Conditions (Zero Excuse & Non-Dispute Policy): * Cancellation & No-Dispute Agreement: By bidding on this project, the freelancer explicitly agrees that this is an "All-or-Nothing" delivery. If the tool fails to process a 10 MB file, crashes, or fails at multi-voice detection, the project will be cancelled. The freelancer strictly agrees NOT to file any dispute or claim partial payments upon cancellation of an incomplete/broken product. * 100% Code Handover & Ownership: Upon completion, the freelancer must hand over the complete, clean source code (.py files), [login to view URL], and a full deployment guide. I will have 100% full ownership of the data and code. * No Server/Environment Excuses: The developer must ensure the tool runs flawlessly on the final hosted platform. I will NOT accept post-award excuses regarding free cloud hosting sleep modes, Termux compatibility issues, mobile OS limitations, or continuous script time-outs. Finding a stable, working environment is fully the developer's responsibility. * Single Milestone Payment Policy: The project budget will be kept in a single milestone locked until final delivery. No partial or mid-project payments will be released. * Pre-Award Working Sample: Before I award you this project, you must provide a short 2-minute MP3 audio sample generated from a sample text snippet I provide, demonstrating both Pocket FM-style word replacements and automated dialogue transitions.

Let’s do it. Come over to chat and I’ll show you how I’d structure the multi-mode TTS pipeline, dialogue detection, localization, and large-file processing without requiring manual text formatting. I understand you need a Python-based tool supporting English→Hindi audiobook generation, direct Hindi TTS, and plain-text translation, with automatic quote-based narrator/character voice switching, bulk replacements, chapter splitting, MP3 merging, progress tracking, and a separate “Generate Audio” trigger. I have experience with Python automation, TTS pipelines, text processing, translation workflows, file processing, APIs, and web interfaces. For the free execution requirement, I’d build around stable zero-cost engines such as Edge-TTS where appropriate and design the processing as chunked/background jobs so 10 MB files don’t have to sit in one memory-heavy request. A few things I’d like to clarify: - Can you provide the sample text for the required 2-minute pre-award test? - Should quoted dialogue always use the same female voice, or should the system support multiple character voices later? - Which hosting environment do you expect to use for the final deployment? I’d also want to validate the 10 MB processing and free-engine limitations during the sample stage rather than promising a setup that depends on hidden paid APIs. Thanks, Akif F

Hi, I can build this Python-based, dialogue-aware audiobook automation system with all 3 modes: • English → Hindi translation + Pocket FM-style localization • Direct Hindi → Multi-voice TTS • English → plain Hindi TXT translation without modifications The system will support Excel/TXT bulk replacements for names, locations, currency and terminology, automatically detect quoted dialogue vs narrator text, and assign separate Indian Hindi voices. I’ll design it for large files up to 10 MB using chunked/background processing, automatic chapter/part splitting, retry handling, MP3 merging, 1.0x–1.5x speed control, volume boost and progress tracking. The UI will have a separate **Generate Audio** button, so audio generation starts only after explicit confirmation. I’ll also include password protection and complete source-code/deployment handover. I can provide the required **2-minute working sample** before award demonstrating localization, dialogue detection and multi-voice audio. I’ll use free/zero-cost TTS and translation options wherever technically reliable, with no hidden paid API dependency.

Two parts of your spec decide the whole architecture, so let me answer them up front. Mode A pipeline: I would build it as TXT in, speaker-aware script out, then per-character voice mapping into an offline TTS engine (Piper or Coqui XTTS) - no per-character cloud fees and no memory blowup on large files, which is what usually makes these bots crash. Translation to Hindi runs through a translation API with a glossary file you control, so names and world-building terms stay consistent across chapters. Dialogue detection works off speaker tags and quoted lines, with a fallback you can correct manually. What I need from you before quoting the full build: (1) whether fully offline TTS is required or a paid API is acceptable for voice quality, and (2) one real sample TXT plus an example of the output you expect. Send the sample and I will build a working prototype of the dialogue-aware pipeline free, so you can judge the voices and localization before committing. Python certified; automation and scraping work is on my profile.

Hi, I build Python automation pipelines, and what makes or breaks a Pocket FM-style audiobook isn't the TTS engine but dialogue attribution: knowing which character is speaking each line, including the lines where the speaker is only implied by context, so every voice stays consistent across chapters. I'd handle that as a dedicated step that labels each quote with its character and keeps a voice map per book, with a quick review screen so you can correct a mislabeled line before rendering instead of re-generating a whole chapter. The three modes map cleanly onto one pipeline. Mode A runs translation (English to Hindi with Pocket FM-style localization), then speaker detection, then multi-voice MP3. Mode B detects Hindi input and skips translation. Mode C stops after translation and returns plain Hindi text. Large files are processed in chunks with progress saving, so a 10 MB novel never crashes the run, and a failed chunk can be retried without starting over. For the free and stable requirement I'd use edge-tts neural Hindi voices, which are free and handle long texts well. You'd get the tool with a simple interface, the source code and a setup guide. About eight days is realistic. Do you prefer it as a desktop app, a web dashboard, or a Telegram bot?

Your Pocket FM-style multi-voice TTS bot is a build I can take on. I'm an AI application developer based in Shenzhen, working remotely across time zones, with Python, TypeScript, Node.js, LLM orchestration and Playwright automation as my daily tools. I've built an automated AI short-drama production line that replaced manual production steps, and I've shipped Playwright + Python pipelines for data collection and validation. For audiobook localization, the pieces I'd wire together are script parsing, per-character voice assignment, TTS API calls, and audio stitching, with retries and validation so a failed chapter doesn't kill the run. I should be straight with you: multi-voice TTS at this scale isn't a project I've delivered before, though the automation and API integration side is squarely my work. I'm available now, and my rate is $40-60/hour equivalent, adjustable for a tight fixed budget. Tell me which TTS engine you're targeting and I'll scope it out.
