I have a good suspicion this has been written with help from an LLM. The heavy use of emojis and strong hyper confident language is the giveaway. Proof: my own repos look like this after they’ve had the touch of cursor / windsurf etc.

Its a bit rough with SherpaOnnx and eSpeak - So PR's welcome. Idea here is this is a unifed TTS wrapper so getVoices is the same for all engines, and bytestream is the same and word events are the same - even if they don't support

You’re real market you need to go hard on is the assistive tech market. You know the biggest companies in this space are those solving problems for dyslexia where govt grants in eg UK fund pretty much all their work? I had an access to work

Aqua voice is nothing like talon. I wouldn’t bother trying to compare. It’s a dictation tool. Just entry. Not commands. But it’s bloody impressive. You don’t need to learn anything - you just talk like you would talk to someone across the w

Does anyone out there have a working Apple Shortcut that can toggle on/off a denied domain like YouTube? That's one feature I had in Pihole that I can't seem to replicate. Update.. as usual I was trying this all day and only

fyi we currently support macos with systemtts (so sapi on windows and nss on Mac). But I really need to build a new replacement as nsss is deprecated.. nb: our engine does more than say - we do word events and standardise languages/cal

Interesting this. It reminds me of when my dad used to work at NATS /CAA (uk air traffic body). I remember him getting complaints in the early 90s that people’s car locking systems failed to work on the car park next to the radar tower

Nice. Some thoughts. Look at PPM. Your prediction model would work better with personalised data. PPM is efficient (nb. I see you are using python - look at this https://github.com/willwade/pylm - although be warned -
