• What did you do in Kansas City while r/Kansascity was dark?

  In support of third party apps such as the BaconReader app which is developed in Kansas City, /r/kansascity is going private in protest on reddit's announced changes to their policies regarding reddit API and these third party apps. You can find out more here. Source: 11 months ago

• r/Canada will be going dark for 48 hours beginning June 12 at midnight ET to protest the proposed API changes | r/Canada s'éteindra pendant 48 heures à compter du 12 juin à minuit HE pour protester contre les modifications proposées de l'API

  On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill many useful third party apps on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader. Source: 11 months ago

• What apps meet your access needs?

  BaconReader: intended for everyone, with improved support for screen magnification, changing text size, colour contrast changes, and screen readers. Source: 11 months ago

• Can we please not post Platchat spoilers? Just add the spoiler tag when posting power rankings.

  Image previews by default is a new reddit thing. Most people that have been around since before the redesign use https://old.reddit.com with RES (or use classic-style mobile apps like BaconReader) and think new reddit is worse than pre-nerf Brig. No clue what the percentage of new vs old users is at this point, or if new reddit lets you disable previews by default, which it might. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Another change i really dont like (yet). My head crashes as soon i see it. What was wrong with how it was? Cant we just choose the interface.

  I just use BaconReader on my phone. :) Not too fond of Reddit's interface-changes, so I also use the old interface on desktop. Source: over 2 years ago

• [D] What offline TTS Model is good enough for a realistic real-time task?

  There aren't really any models that produce realistic real-time voice. I'd recommend ElevenLabs or play.ht, sadly these seem to be the only useable options for now. Source: 5 months ago

• Where can I find an online resource of voice cloning?

  I've used play.ht before. Very easy to use. Source: 10 months ago

• Voice generation AI (TTS)

  Does anyone know what they are using and if its possible to get it and run it locally? I have a lot of text to voice (1 500 000 characters, 300 000 words) so using services as elevenlabs or play.ht would be pretty expensive. The quality is secondary to it being reasonably fast (got a 2060 super, dont want to run it for 4 months straight to generate all this dialogue). Source: 10 months ago

• Best AI Voice for Audio Books - Play.ht?

  My experience with play.ht wasn't positive, had way better luck paying the eleven labs premium. Source: 10 months ago

• Best AI Voice for Audio Books - Play.ht?

  (The biggest problem I have with play.ht is it won't do some things because "Your content violates our standards" and that is for "fight scenes" written over 100 years ago). Source: 10 months ago
