• I am disappointed and my day is ruined

  There is Dictation.io as well that runs speech-to-text in a bunch of different languages. Maybe you can check it out? Source: almost 2 years ago

• Guys, please help !!! The best way to type Malayalam in laptop.

  You can install google input tool's chrome extension, select malayalam language and assign a keyboard shortcut to activate it everytime you need it. There's also dictation.io, which is a nice speech to text tool I use quite often. Source: over 2 years ago

• Is there Windows software that uses Google speech to text in any text field (not just browser)

  I've temporarily lost the use of my hand. So I am looking at alternative way to type, this was typed using speechnotes, but it is a pop-up that you have to copy and paste things out of, which is more clicking than I'd like. Same for dictation.io (which is also good). Win-H (Cortana) does what I want, but says 'listening' and half the time doesn't type anything and then deletes the input if you hesitate too long...

You might also be able to find online text-to-speech that allows commercial usage, it just might take awhile to find. Depending on the time of content you make you could also dedicate part of your layout to a spot you could type in and... Source: over 1 year ago

• Vocaloid 6

  Can someone point to a good open source alternative for vocaloid? I know of Sinsy [0] but I couldn't get it working. Ecantorix [1] is very old and rudimentary (it uses espeak underneath [2]). Searching just now I see OpenUtau [3] but I have no experience with it. Seems crazy there isn't a good FOSS solution for this.

• Is there a website that reads the custom phonetically written words?

  The closest that I know of is espeak, https://espeak.sourceforge.net/ . It certainly doesn't cover all of the IPA though. Source: over 1 year ago
