Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface travisvn/openai-edge-tts, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

- highreadme#1Reposition the README's opening to clarify its role as a free, self-hostable OpenAI-compatible API replacement
Why:
CURRENTThis project provides a local, OpenAI-compatible text-to-speech (TTS) API using `edge-tts`. It emulates the OpenAI TTS endpoint (`/v1/audio/speech`), enabling users to generate speech from text with various voice options and playback speeds, just like the OpenAI API. `edge-tts` uses Microsoft Edge's online text-to-speech service, so it is completely free.
COPY-PASTE FIXThis project provides a **free, self-hostable, OpenAI-compatible text-to-speech (TTS) API endpoint** that directly **replaces paid services like OpenAI, Azure, or ElevenLabs**. It leverages Microsoft Edge's online text-to-speech service via `edge-tts` to emulate the OpenAI TTS endpoint (`/v1/audio/speech`), enabling users to generate high-quality speech from text with various voice options and playback speeds, completely free of charge.

- lowcomparison#3Add a 'Comparison' section to the README to clarify differentiators
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison & Why Choose This? Unlike direct proxies for OpenAI's *paid* TTS service, this project provides a completely free, self-hostable API endpoint that *emulates* OpenAI's API using Microsoft Edge's free text-to-speech service. While other self-hosted TTS solutions like Piper or Coqui TTS require downloading large models and significant local compute, `openai-edge-tts` offers a lightweight, Docker-deployable solution with high-quality voices, without any cost or complex setup.
