awesomeTTS - delete text from field after audio has been generated

Anki Add-ons

Here’s the problem:
I have a card design that has an extra field for the audio created by awesomeTTS. My procedure is that when I create a card, I put the word (that is to be translated) into the audio field and then have awesomeTTS transcribe it to audio. The audio is appended. Example:

Audio field:
to walk [sound:google-7b207482-e820d8a7-2651f0b9-5dc0d8fb-28976a2e.mp3]

This however means that I cannot use the audio field for a card design where only the audio is played (without me seeing the word). So I want to achieve is that the “to walk” string is automatically deleted from the audio field after the audio file has been created. Is there a way to do this?

You may want to hide a field text in the card template. The text will not be displayed, but the audio will play (not tested on mobile), like this:

<!--{{Front}}-->

Works like a charm (also on android), thank you!

Another technique that would make your notes more versatile is to always store you text and your audio in separate fields. Then you can have the add-on use your text field as the source, and your audio field as the target.

You never have to display the text on a card if you don’t want to, but you can still “display” the audio, so you’ll have a play button/control.
