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.

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.

Agentic Chat Shortcomings

With the new agentic implementation, it is now much harder to use Chat to, well, actually chat. I do not really need the agent to edit for me (only when using the Generate or Rewrite functions), and the most frequent use cases for me are general brainstorming and working on specific lines. So, the new chat has a not so funny gimmick when it would write a completely fine and legit response, then scrap it completely and write something like ‘I need to view the manuscript’ or ‘Please switch to Allow edits so I can edit [smth] for you,’ which is just infuriating since I already saw the answer and wanted to do with it what I need. It would be very nice to implement either a switch to toggle back to classic Chat or a classifier model that would decide if the user’s instruct requires agent’s work.

Text to Speach

I know this has been requested before but I think its worth reiterating. For authors its a very valuable too to hear their prose read back to them. We catch not only line edit errors but things that are not quite quantifiable in a document editor. I’v tried browser plugins and most are crap. either my api key dosent work or it cannot handshake with the service provider. So far my best option is Eleven Labs Reader app for my phone. It has the best most natural sounding narration I’ve found so far. But it is a bit of a hassle to go through the steps to copy, paste into a word doc and then load it into the reader app. The Ideal thing would be just to highlight text in sudowrite and have a little icon in the pop-up show a headphone icon. One can set up the voice in the settings. I’m sure you could work a deal with Elevenlabs to integrate their technology into sudowrite. Yes I know it would cost something but I think it would be worth it.
