How can we make Sudowrite better?

Please tell us how we improve Sudowrite for you.

Text-to-Speech and Audible-Style Story Playback

I think one feature that would really help writers is a text-to-speech option that reads our stories back to us. Sometimes hearing the words is just as important as seeing them. Some ideas: 🎧 Audible-style playback of stories 🗣️ Natural AI voices that read chapters aloud 🔄 Background listening while editing or writing ⚡ Adjustable playback speeds 🎭 Different voices for different characters 🌧️ Optional ambient sounds or background music ✍️ Helps catch mistakes, improve pacing, and hear dialogue more naturally I think being able to both read and listen to our stories would help writers connect with their work on a deeper level and make the editing process much more effective.

Upload visual aids

I have images Ive generated with chatgpt that Ive visualized for many of my novels. Characters, outfits, scenes, etc. My brain just works funny. I cant really translate images into words or vice versa..and I cant see images in my head…so I find a reference closest to what I see and I input everything into chatgpt to put it all together to make what Im imagining. It does, sometimes takes a few tries but I know when it’s right when I see it, but then here Sudowrite cant use that image reference for my novels and everything in them. So my workaround has been to tell chatgpt to describe the image to me and I input that description here but it doesnt always get the information right and its just a headache

Plugins are great, but its not really easy to use

Plugins make it easier to write certain things, but it needs to be seamless. It would make sense for the engine to just follow the plugins installed automatically when writing. So when I give an instruction, it writes it and uses the plugins related that I have installed. Like 18+ scenes etc. Instead I have to manually go in the list and search for the one Im looking for but obviously Im not gonna remember each and every ones function by their titles, not all the titles are straight forward with their specific functions. So I have to go all the way to the plug in screen, scroll to find the right one by reading each ones description, go back to the writing screen, find the plugin to select it, and write. And do that every..single…time I need to use a plugin. Its too damn tedious and theres for sure easier ways

Worldbuilding Groupings - Collapse, Filter and Tags

Worldbuilding is a great feature, but it quickly becomes unwieldy. I have a couple of ideas that would greatly improve it’s usability. Give the option to Group by the Role/Category. Each group would be collapsible, making it easier to see other types. My series involves a lot of travel, so there are many entries for Cities. I would quickly be able to collapse or expand all Cities. Allowing search or filter within this group would also be huge! Add a new Tags field. Let user use other bible entries as tags. Also allow custom tags to tie entries together. Allow filter Show and Hide options by tags. Now I can quickly see all locations, characters, events, etc. that are connected to a certain city, book, subplot, etc. Example: Tag “Willie’s Tools”. His toolbelt has 15 tools. I could on this tag and quickly see or hide all of his tools as needed.
