A simple mac utility to use OpenAI's text-to-speech API.

I found myself needing some super simple “good enough” voiceovers recently, and couldn’t quickly find a good app for interfacing with OpenAI’s text to speech API.

So, I built mockvox - a simple UI on top of OpenAI’s text-to-speech API.

I think there might be some command line tools out there, and you can of course just hit the API directly, but I thought it’d be a fun chance to build a super simple Mac app with a clean UI for less technical folks.

Learned a bit about consumable in-app purchases in the process, which I hadn’t done yet.

Anyway, might be useful for some people out there like content marketers or even educators putting curriculum together.
