## Long-Form Content

### Chunked Processing

For content over 5000 characters, split into chunks:

```bash
# Process long text in chunks
TEXT="Your very long text here..."

# Split and generate
# Chunk 1
infsh app run infsh/kokoro-tts --input '{
  "text": "<chunk-1>",
  "voice": "bf_emma"
}' > chunk1.json

# Chunk 2
infsh app run infsh/kokoro-tts --input '{
  "text": "<chunk-2>",
  "voice": "bf_emma"
}' > chunk2.json

# Merge chunks
infsh app run infsh/media-merger --input '{
  "audio_files": ["<chunk1-url>", "<chunk2-url>"],
  "crossfade_ms": 100
}'
```

## Voice + Video Workflow

# 1. Generate voiceover
infsh app run infsh/kokoro-tts --input '{
  "text": "This stunning footage shows the beauty of nature in its purest form.",
  "voice": "am_michael"
}' > voiceover.json

# 2. Merge with video

  "video_url": "https://your-video.mp4",

infsh app run bytedance/omnihuman-1-5 --input '{
  "image_url": "https://portrait.jpg",
  "audio_url": "<speech-url>"
}'
```

## Speed and Pacing

| Speed | Effect | Use For |
|-------|--------|---------|
| 0.8 | Slow, deliberate | Audiobooks, meditation |
| 0.9 | Slightly slow | Education, tutorials |
| 1.0 | Normal | General purpose |
| 1.1 | Slightly fast | Commercials, energy |
| 1.2 | Fast | Quick announcements |

```bash
# Slow narration
infsh app run infsh/kokoro-tts --input '{
  "text": "Take a deep breath. Let yourself relax.",
  "voice": "bf_emma",
  "speed": 0.8
}'
```

## Punctuation for Pacing

Use punctuation to control speech rhythm:

| Punctuation | Effect |
|-------------|--------|
| Period `.` | Full pause |
| Comma `,` | Brief pause |
| `...` | Extended pause |
| `!` | Emphasis |
| `?` | Question intonation |
| `-` | Quick break |

```bash
infsh app run infsh/kokoro-tts --input '{
  "text": "Wait... Did you hear that? Something is coming. Something big!",
  "voice": "am_adam"
}'
```

## Best Practices

1. **Match voice to content** - Professional voice for business, casual for social
2. **Use punctuation** - Control pacing with periods and commas
3. **Keep sentences short** - Easier to generate and sounds more natural
4. **Test different voices** - Same text sounds different across voices
5. **Adjust speed** - Slightly slower often sounds more natural
6. **Break long content** - Process in chunks for consistency

## Use Cases

- **Voiceovers** - Video narration, commercials
- **Audiobooks** - Full book narration
- **Podcasts** - AI hosts and guests
- **E-learning** - Course narration
- **Accessibility** - Screen reader content
- **IVR** - Phone system messages
- **Content localization** - Translate and voice
