saytime

===

Saytime generates an audio file from provided text using the macOS `say` command.

In addition, it provides the timestamp and duration for each spoken sentence along with the text of each sentence.

That allows the output to be used for synchronized playback testing and video subtitle rendering verification.

# Compatibility

saytime requires:

* macOS with `say`

* Node 6+

* ffmpeg (providing the `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` commands)

# Usage

See the `examples` directory for more.

```javascript

const saytime = require('saytime');

saytime(`

There once was a young lady named bright

Whose speed was much faster than light

She set out one day

In a relative way

And returned on the previous night.

`, { out: 'output.wav' }, (err, result) => {

  if (!err) {

    console.log('RESULT', result);

  }

});

```

Output:

```

RESULT { audioPath: 'output.wav',

  parts:

   [ { duration: 2.341688,

       sentence: 'There once was a young lady named bright',

       timestamp: 0 },

     { duration: 2.406938,

       sentence: 'Whose speed was much faster than light',

       timestamp: 2.841688 },

     { duration: 1.473625,

       sentence: 'She set out one day',

       timestamp: 5.748626 },

     { duration: 1.162188,

       sentence: 'In a relative way',

       timestamp: 7.722251 },

     { duration: 2.002438,

       sentence: 'And returned on the previous night.',

       timestamp: 9.384439 } ] }
