I'd love to see this deployable to edge that have a Google Coral TPU

really fun - i had to play once to really understand what was going on

would be interesting to also gather a list of disappointments so they can be avoided

This could be cool to apply as an acting aid, for actors trying to get in the role of a particular dialect-speaker.

I would love to be able to explore combinations of X spoken language with Y accent, like for example I've always been curious how French sounds spoken with an Indian accent.

you're stating that vacation planning is 90% of the pleasure as a truism???
