Hi steppers. D, getting that social connection while working looks like enough of a pressure situation to fire up your work muscles. Congrats on finding it.

I'm making great strides on my 10 minute scripts. I've drafted 1 full script and begun another, and have ideas for more. I'm reading for reference the script for Waking Life, and loving it. Feel a fellowship.

Right now my main goal is to find a free ai tool that can read a multi-speaker text. It's called multi-speaker TTS (text to speech). Testing Google's AI Studio (GAIS) at the moment and it's working better than the others. I've looked about 20 apps or sites. I want it to be free (this is a hobby, not a profession) decently voiced, and easy to make my script usable. With GAIS I have a stack of voices to pick from and if I edit out the stage directions it reads and voices pretty realistically.

Bumping up against some limits. It can handle about 2 pages at a time, and I think there's a daily usage limit, which I just capped out on at 8.44 in the morning. I'm downloading sections, much like cans of film, for later editing back together somehow.

I also have a new co-counseling partner, to go with the other arrangements I have for mutual support. I'm up to 5, counting this forum.

There's a bunch of things at the condo to deal with: owners in arrears on payments, leaky faucets, a garage gate that's possibly at the end of it's service life. Welcome back stuff.
