generated audio timestamps

[kisokos03]

i'm trying to use the generated audio for some automation.
Is there any way to ascertain something like word/character "timestamps" from the generation process? either would work.
Obviously the tts blends, it isn't sounding one character or one word at a time, but i'd imagine it still has to organise itself somehow.

Sorry i'm not too familiar with how tts engines work, hopefully that makes sense?
