🔧 Technical Implementation

Audio Processing Pipeline

Step 1: Text Preparation

Input Text: "Student: I need help with my assignment. Professor: What specific area are you struggling with?"

Step 2: Speaker Identification

Parsed Structure:
- Speaker 1 (Student): "I need help with my assignment."
- Speaker 2 (Professor): "What specific area are you struggling with?"

Step 3: Voice Assignment

Voice Mapping:
- Student → Indigo-PlayAI (Female, Student-appropriate)
- Professor → Onyx (Male, Authoritative)

Step 4: Audio Generation

Generate separate audio files:
- student_segment.wav
- professor_segment.wav

Step 5: Audio Combination

Final Output: conversation_complete.wav
- Student audio + 0.5s pause + Professor audio
- Normalized volume levels
- Consistent audio quality

Quality Control Measures

Audio Specifications: - Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz (CD quality) - Bit Depth: 16-bit encoding - Format: WAV for processing, MP3 for delivery - Compression: Optimized for web streaming

Consistency Checks: - Volume Normalization: All speakers at similar audio levels - Silence Trimming: Remove excess silence at beginning/end - Pause Insertion: Natural pauses between speakers (0.3-0.8 seconds) - Quality Validation: Automatic checks for audio artifacts
