After converting text to audio and music, the demand from super members for converting text to images is also increasing~ We have carefully sorted out everyone’s core needs, summarized as follows:

1. Generate cover images for public accounts or accompanying images within articles.

2. Create exercises like the one below that correspond words with images.

Okay, this task is not particularly easy. After our research, we found that the text-to-image capabilities of existing tools are somewhat lacking. If you also want text (in either Chinese or English) to be included in the image, it becomes even more complicated. However, today we still intend to share our experiences, and you can choose one based on your needs to start with. As technology and databases continue to improve, we believe our user experience will also get better!

4. ByteDance: Doubao

5. OpenAI: ChatGPT
