I run a small-scale internet radio station using Radio Automation Software (Azura Cast and liquid soap). I want an AI voice that automatically joins the stream for a three-minute world-news break at the top of each hour. The core requirements are straightforward: • Content source – pull the latest headlines and short summaries on-the-fly from Worthy [login to view URL] and Rapture Ready News (Can be rss but prefer data be interpreted from just web page without need for rss). If one feed is down the system may fall back on any publicly available source you feel fits the same style. • Scheduling in Azura cast – simple on/off toggle plus a field where I can list specific hours (e.g., 08:00-22:00) when the bulletin should air; outside those hours it stays silent. • Custom intro – every bulletin starts with a short, scripted greeting that states the AI reporter’s chosen name and my station name before moving into the stories. I’ll supply the exact wording. • Runtime – text must be fetched, interpreted and voiced in real time so it never sounds pre-recorded. A natural-sounding TTS engine is essential. • Output – send the finished audio into my existing stream (Icecast/Shoutcast compatible) without interrupting anything else that’s playing. • Control inside Azura cast Admin – page where I can update the intro script, change source URLs, and adjust the schedule. • Budget – this is a lean $55 build, so keep the solution light, preferably using open-source libraries. The voice model must sound human and tts be setup on my server. i dont want monthly fees we can use open source models. Delivery is the working code, brief setup guide, and a quick test session to prove the hourly hand-off works.

Hi there. Your plan for an hourly AI newscaster is clear, and I can build a light setup that fits your $55 limit. I’ve done similar work with open‑source TTS and simple schedulers. I’d keep things minimal so it runs well on your server. • Pull headlines from Worthy News and Rapture Ready, fall back if needed • Generate short text, apply your intro, create audio with an open‑source voice • Stream to Icecast/Shoutcast without touching the current track • Simple config file for schedule, URLs, and intro This is small enough to deliver in a couple of days, including a test session. Which TTS voice quality are you aiming for given server resources and no paid models? Greetings, Slavko

Hi there! I understand you want a real-time AI news bulletin system that works smoothly with your radio stream. It is frustrating when systems depend on paid APIs or monthly fees and limit your control. I have experience in building automation systems using APIs, Python, and open-source AI tools. I have worked on projects involving text-to-speech engines, RSS data handling, and streaming automation. I also have experience with server-side deployment and integrating audio output with live streaming platforms. My approach will be to use open-source TTS models like Piper or Coqui for natural human-like voice output. I will build an RSS reader system to fetch and filter news in real time from your selected sources. I will add a scheduling system with simple on/off and time-based control as you requested. The final output will be directly routed to Icecast/Shoutcast stream without interrupting playback. check our work https://www.freelancer.com/u/ayesha86664 Do you prefer a single AI voice or multiple voice options for different news segments? Let me know if you’re interested & we can discuss it. . Best Regards Ayesha

Hello, I can build this system for you as a lightweight, self-hosted AI radio news injector that runs fully on open-source tools with no recurring TTS costs. I will set up a scheduled service that triggers at your defined hours, pulls the latest RSS headlines from your selected sources, formats them into short bulletin scripts, and converts them into natural-sounding speech using an offline or self-hosted TTS engine like Piper or Coqui TTS. The system will include a configurable intro segment where your AI host name and station name are inserted, followed by dynamically generated news summaries that are assembled in real time so nothing is pre-recorded. For streaming, I will integrate output directly into Icecast or Shoutcast using a seamless audio handoff so your live stream is not interrupted when the bulletin plays. You will get a simple web panel or config file to control scheduling, toggle the feature on or off, edit the intro script, and manage news sources easily. The final delivery will include fully working code, setup instructions for your server, and a live test to confirm the hourly broadcast runs correctly.

Hi, this sounds like a lightweight radio automation job more than a big “AI platform.” The goal is to reliably generate a short live-sounding bulletin, voice it with local TTS, and hand it into Icecast/Shoutcast without breaking the main stream. I’d build this as a small server-side service: RSS fetcher, headline summarizer/formatter, local open-source TTS, scheduler, and a simple config panel or file for the intro, sources, and active hours. I’ve built similar automation where the tricky part wasn’t the script itself, but making fallback handling and timing reliable so it didn’t fail silently during a live window. I’d start by testing your server specs and stream hand-off method, then wire a minimal hourly version before polishing the voice and config. Main risk is TTS latency or stream interruption, so I’d keep the audio generation separate, pre-buffer the 3-minute segment, and only inject it when it’s ready. Thanks!

For your budget, I’d keep it minimal (one page, no fancy auth unless you want simple password protection). Which stream format/bitrate are you using now (e.g., MP3 128kbps, AAC 64kbps), and do you want the news bulletin to match that exactly? Can your station tolerate a few seconds of latency at the top of the hour (e.g., bulletin starts at hh:00:03) to allow fresh fetch + TTS, or does it need to fire almost instantaneously? If you can confirm: Server OS & hardware (CPU/RAM, GPU yes/no), Your current streaming chain (plain source client vs. liquidsoap/other), Preferred voice accent, I can narrow this down to a concrete implementation plan and an exact TTS engine choice that will run smoothly on your machine.

Hello, The primary challenge involves ensuring real-time data synchronization between the news sources and the AI voice system while maintaining seamless audio output. Another complexity lies in managing the scheduling feature without disrupting the existing stream. Will the system require robust error handling in case a news source is unavailable? How should the scheduling interface be designed to accommodate various time zones? I am ready to discuss these technical aspects further.

Hey there, I’m Roman. I can build your lean, on‑prem AI Radio Newscaster with open‑source tools, no monthly fees, and it’ll drop a 3‑minute world‑news block at the top of every hour. What I’ll deliver - Content source: pull latest headlines and short summaries from Worthy News and Rapture Ready News via RSS or API; if one feed goes down, it’ll fall back to another public feed that matches the style. - Scheduling: a simple config with an on/off toggle and hours like 08:00-22:00; outside those hours it stays silent. - Custom intro: you provide the exact wording; the system prepends the AI reporter’s chosen name and your station name. - Real-time TTS: open‑source TTS (Coqui/Mozilla TTS) runs on your server so text is spoken live, not pre‑recorded. - Output: FFmpeg (or a light libshout setup) streams the finished audio into Icecast/Shoutcast without interrupting current playback. - Control: a tiny web panel or config file to update intro, source URLs, and schedule. - Budget fit: designed to stay lean, using open‑source libs. 2–3 practical lines - I’ll build a Python core: feedparser for RSS, a small scheduler, TTS on demand, and a streaming bridge to Icecast. - Quick test: a one‑hour trigger plus a 3‑minute render to confirm hand‑off works, with a simple setup guide. - You’ll get working code, a setup guide, and a ready‑to‑test session to prove it runs on your server. If this sounds right, I’ll start with a minimal prototype and ship a testable build fast.
