I am extremely excited to announce that our newest app is now available to download! Start Speaking, our document reading app is now available in the App Store! This app let’s users read books through text to speech, and it has more accessibility features than you could ever imagine. This is also the first app developed entirely by @Beckyk@techopolis.social. You can download it here. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/start-speaking/id6763764750 #AI, #Books, #tts

D.I.Y. Intelligence Viele Leute haben Angst vor den KIs dieser Welt. Da sie aber nicht mehr aufzuhalten sind, gibt es nur einen Weg: Macht sie euch untertan! Many people are afraid of the AIs of this world. But since they can no longer be stopped, there is only one way forward: subdue them!   https://word.undead-network.de/2026/07/20/d-i-y-intelligence/ #ai #diy #gwen #ki #local #offline #selfempowerment #tts

New free app for my blind and low-vision friends: ElevenLabs TTS Studio — an accessible desktop app for ElevenLabs text-to-speech. Keyboard-first and screen-reader-first: searchable voice picker, generate, play, save, history. Every control announces properly. Bring your own API key. Built by a blind dev, tested with a real screen reader — because accessibility is the point, not an afterthought. https://github.com/tonygeb23/eleven-tts-studio #a11y #accessibility #NVDA #ScreenReader #TTS #OpenSource

This is an omnivoice tts extension for #sillytavern that I hacked together. If you don't know what any of those things mean, you don't need it. If you do, here you go: github.com/fastfinge/omnivoice-sillytavern-extension #AI #tts

Most text-to-speech tools fall into two camps. The ones that sound good need serious hardware. The ones that run on anything sound robotic. MOSS-TTS-Nano is trying to be neither. It’s a 100M parameter model that runs on a regular CPU and it actually sounds good. Good enough that the team behind it built an entire family of speech models around the same core technology, one of which has gone head to head with Gemini 2.5 Pro and ElevenLabs https://firethering.com/moss-tts-nano-open-source-tts/ #technews #ai #tts #llm #genai
