She was my second mother. I called her Ma and she treated me like her own son. + +So the logic I coded I have called the Margie Alogithm. + +It takes a poem, and uses a Large Language Model to break the poem into pieces, and define instructions on how each piece should be read. Example: "Speak in a sad, slow and longing tone.", "Speak in a sad, slow and heartbroken tone." or "Speak in a sad, slow and reserved tone but move to a slow and uplifting tone." + +Each part is given to a Text to Speach AI along with the instructions on how it is to be read. Then all the parts are stitched together into a single audio file. The example for the poem showed here took about 3 minutes in all to process using the OpenAI API accessed from code running on my laptop. + +Here are the words of the poem... In the future I will test this with other poems as well and post them here. + +## If Tomorrow Starts Without Me + +by David M Romano + +When tomorrow starts without me, +And I'm not there to see, +If the sun should rise and find your eyes +all filled with tears for me, + +I wish so much you wouldn't cry +The way you did today, +While thinking of the many things, +We didn't get to say. + +I know how much you love me, +As much as I love you, +and each time that you think of me, +I know you'll miss me too. + +But when tomorrow starts without me, +Please try to understand, +That an angel came and called my name, +And took me by the hand, +and said my place was ready, +In heaven far above, +And that I'd have to leave behind +All those I dearly love. + +But as I turned to walk away, +A tear fell from my eye +For all my life, I'd always thought, +I didn't want to die. + +I had so much to live for, +So much left yet to do, +It seemed almost impossible, +That I was leaving you. + +I thought of all the yesterdays +The good ones and the bad, +I thought of all the love we shared, +and all the fun we had... + +If I could re-live yesterday +Just even for a while, +I'd say good-bye and kiss you +And maybe see you smile. + +But then I fully realized, +That this could never be, +For emptiness and memories, +would take the place of me. + +And when I thought of worldly things, +I might miss come tomorrow, +I thought of you, and when I did, +My heart was filled with sorrow. + +But when I walked through heaven's gates, +I felt so much at home... +When God looked down and smiled at me, +From His great golden throne. + +He said, 'This is eternity, +And all I've promised you.' +Today your life on earth is past, +But here life starts anew, + +I promise no tomorrow, +But today will always last, +And since each day's the same way +There's no longing for the past. + +You have been so faithful, +So trusting and so true. +Though there were times +You did some things +You knew you shouldn't do. + +But you have been forgiven +And now at last you're free. +So won't you come and take my hand +And share my life with me? + +So when tomorrow starts without me, +Don't think we're far apart, +For every time you think of me, +I'm right here, in your heart. + diff --git a/AI Examples/Reading a Sad Poem/poem.mp3 b/AI Examples/Reading a Sad Poem/poem.mp3 new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4269fa2 Binary files /dev/null and b/AI Examples/Reading a Sad Poem/poem.mp3 differ
