Description

  • Adds a generator function chunkTTSInput in packages/stage-ui/src/utils/tts.ts to pre-process text into chunks before streaming them to the speech provider, to reduce the first-chunk wait time while preferring to generate speech with complete sentences. (Please allow me to book a slot in our DevLog to explain this.)
  • Adds a simple playground to test the TTS chunking and streaming. Available inside the Voice Playground:

Summary of Changes

Hello @sumimakito, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the Text-to-Speech (TTS) capabilities within the stage-ui package by introducing a sophisticated text chunking mechanism. The primary goal is to optimize the streaming of text to speech providers, leading to a faster initial response time for spoken output without compromising the coherence of sentences. This is achieved through a new utility function that intelligently segments input text based on punctuation, word counts, and a configurable 'boost' for early chunks. To facilitate testing and understanding of this new logic, a dedicated streaming playground has also been integrated into the UI.

Highlights

  • Improved TTS Input Chunking: A new generator function chunkTTSInput has been introduced in packages/stage-ui/src/utils/tts.ts to intelligently pre-process text into smaller, optimized chunks for Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis. This aims to reduce the initial wait time for speech generation while maintaining natural sentence flow by preferring complete sentences and respecting word limits.
  • New TTS Streaming Playground: A dedicated SpeechStreamingPlayground component has been added within the existing Voice Playground. This playground allows developers to easily test and visualize how text is chunked and streamed for TTS, providing insights into the new chunking logic and its effects.
  • Refactored Message Content Processing: The useMessageContentQueue composable has been updated to leverage the new chunkTTSInput utility, replacing its previous basic sentence-splitting logic. This ensures that all TTS processing benefits from the improved, more robust chunking strategy.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new text chunking utility for Text-to-Speech (TTS) to improve streaming latency. The core logic is in a new chunkTTSInput generator function, and it's integrated into the message processing queue. A new playground component is also added for testing. There are some critical issues in the new logic that need to be addressed.
