Text to Speech Tool
Design an interface for a text to speech tool with the following components: Area 1: Main Text Input Area A large text input box that takes up most of the left side of the screen. The text input box should support unlimited characters and be expandable vertically. A real time character counter should be displayed below the input box, updating as the user types (e.g., “Characters: 250/Unlimited”). The input box should have a placeholder text: “Enter your text here...”. The input box should have a solid, 1px dark grey border (#999) and a white background (#ffffff), with a subtle inner shadow. Below the input box, there is a “Generate” button. This button is centered below the input box and triggers the text to speech process. The button has a background color of blue (#007BFF) with white text and a hover state that changes to a darker blue. Directly below the Generate button, there is an MP3 player area that allows users to play the generated audio. It includes basic controls (Play, Pause, Volume, Progress Bar) and has a white background with dark grey buttons. Next to the MP3 player, there is a “Download MP3” button in green (#28a745) that allows the user to download the audio file. Area 2: User Information Panel Located on the top right side of the screen, this panel displays the user’s ID, current service package (Free, Pro, Premium), and usage details. Show the number of characters used vs. the total character limit for the current package (e.g., “Characters used: 5000/10000”). A progress bar visually represents the usage percentage, with a light blue color for unused characters and dark blue for used characters. There are two buttons: a “Logout” button with a red background (#dc3545) and a “Change Password” button with a yellow background (#ffc107), both positioned at the bottom of the panel. The panel has a solid, 2px light grey border (#ccc) and rounded corners with a background color of white (#ffffff). Area 3: Settings Panel Positioned below the User Information Panel, this area allows users to adjust various settings for the text to speech tool. Language Selection: A manual input box for entering a language code (e.g., "en US") and a dropdown list for selecting common languages. Voice Selection: A “View Options” button that opens a modal window showing available voices. The modal allows users to view up to 10 voices per page, with pagination buttons for navigation. Each voice entry shows Voice Name, Voice ID, Gender, Age, and Characteristics, along with a Play button to listen to a demo and a “Select Voice” button that pre fills the voice ID into the settings area and closes the modal. There is also a search bar and filters for Language, Gender, and Age. Model Selection: A dropdown list for selecting different models (e.g., Standard, Expressive). Stability and Similarity Enhancement Sliders: Two sliders, aligned horizontally and of equal length, allow the user to adjust these parameters. The Stability slider ranges from 0 to 1 with a step of 0.1 and a default value of 0.5. The Similarity Enhancement slider ranges from 0 to 1 with a step of 0.1 and a default value of 0.75. Each slider is accompanied by a manual input box for direct number input. The sliders have a blue color (#007BFF) for the thumb and a grey track, with a blue highlight for the selected range. Reset Button: Below the sliders, there is a small “Reset” button that restores all settings to their default values. The settings panel has a solid, 2px light grey border and rounded corners, with a background color of light grey (#f5f5f5). Additional Features Responsive Design: The interface should adapt to different screen sizes, including mobile, tablet, and desktop views. Loading Indicators: A loading spinner should appear when generating audio, with a small “Processing…” text next to it. Error Handling: Error messages should be displayed if the user enters invalid input (e.g., incorrect language code), with red warning icons and tooltips explaining the error. Help Tooltips: Add tooltips next to certain settings (e.g., Stability and Similarity Enhancement) to explain what each setting does and how adjusting it affects the audio.
