It's been a while now but once out of curiousity I tested the text to speech functionality (with my eyes closed) on an iPhone and another device (a laptop maybe?), and found iOS to be more advanced but still lacking. I don't know much about this but it's nice to see improvements. GrapheneOS seems to be a high value project in terms of dollars-to-output.

Yeah I've never regretted a Monero donation to them.

They accept more than 11 different payment methods[1] for donations and pay most of their devs in Monero.

I'd like to donate with Monero, despite my misgivings about the privacy guarantees of RingCT, because I support the spirit of both projects. but I don't want to raise a red flag to my banking institutions or government. what's the least sketchy-looking way to acquire Monero to donate to projects like this?

Even if you don’t value this particular function and even if it’s not as good as Google or Apple, I think it’s important to have viable free alternatives so if Google and Apple rapidly become (significantly more) actively hostile there are viable alternatives.

TBF my only problem with GoS is that Google is actually hostile (as in the seemingly targeted way), that some institutions (like certain banks) are actively hostile, so both of these things create friction or issues for me, and my only personal issue is that they could use someone less abrasive to communicate (I was on the receiving end of someone who could be described as illegitimate child of Linus Torvalds, Leonard Poettering and a lesser basilisk in terms of politeness in response to me asking a normal user question on the discussion forum. Grim)

So, would recommend in general.

Excellent to see progress here

miroljub2• 2 months ago

Would be more interested in speech to text.

Check out FUTO keyboard with the larger 250 MB model

maelito2• 2 months ago

I use it everyday.

miroljub2• 2 months ago

Yes, I used it. Now I use Whisper+

Both work more or less well for English and a few major languages but drop significantly when it comes to smaller languages.

Yes, can't use Duolingo to its fullest without this. Needs to be the system-integrated speech-to-text too, not some add-on or keyboard.

blendergeek• 2 months ago

I think it needs to be continuous speech-to-text as well.

gslepak• 2 months ago

Awesome! Now how do we use this? I tried selecting text and seeing if there was a "Speak" menu item but there doesn't seem to be.

Comaps voice navigation maybe ?

compass_copium• 2 months ago

OsmAnd~ had voice navigation for me today, whereas it never has before. It could be something else I did tho.

Does it handle multilingual scenarios? For example 'Your line Сливница - Летище София is arriving'? Don't need perfect pronunciation, need it just to not spell it out letter by letter or hallucinate... (Matcha-TTS' demo on HF is broken and couldn't test for myself)

Is there any way this could be used as default text to speech engine on Linux?
