Getting Started with HyperTTS

This article will help you get started with HyperTTS. You will learn how to create text-to-speech audio for your flashcards.

First, backup your Anki collection

In Anki, click File -> Export. Save the file on your hard drive. It's important to do this regularly (once a month) if you invest a lot of time in your Anki flashcard collection. This allows you to recover your cards even if you make a mistake.

Then, install the Hypertts Anki Addon

Install it from: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/111623432. In Anki, click Tools -> Add-ons, then click Get Add-ons. Type in the addon number:  111623432. After installation, restart Anki.

Configure Services

After restarting Anki, go to to Tools -> HyperTTS: Configuration. This dialog will allow you to configure which Text To Speech services to use. If you have an AwesomeTTS Plus / Language Tools / HyperTTS Pro API key, you can enter it under the HyperTTS Pro section.

You can also sign up for a trial API key simply by entering your email, which will be restricted to 5,000 characters.

For free services such as GoogleTranslate, Collins, you can simply click the Enable checkbox. For premium services, you will need an API key (unless you're a HyperTTS Pro subscriber). Once your selection is done, click Save.
