• WhisperSpeech – An Open Source text-to-speech system built by inverting Whisper

  I know it's old at this point and doesn't use the fancy new tech, but Mycroft's Mimic 3 is still pretty impressive and is small enough to fit comfortably and generate speech in real time on a raspberry pi [0]. Some of their voices are better than others, but the best of them are definitely equal to the examples of WhisperSpeech given here.

• AI replacing voice actors for audiobooks

  So dumb, use Mimic3 for free, and you can also use SMML tags so you can change voices for different characters, and modulate the speech to better fit the book! Source: about 1 year ago

• Serverless voice chat with Vicuna-13B

  You might want to check out Mimic 3 by the Mycroft team. Its also open source and runs offline. https://mycroft.ai/mimic-3/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• [D] Locally-runnable text to speech AI?

  I started out with mycroft which has mimic 3 build in. But you can run it just stand alone as well and quite easy to set up. https://mycroft.ai/mimic-3/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best AI text-to-speech programs?

  So far the Mimic3 from Mycroft has been the best I've seen. With the hifi-tts_low being my favorite English voice. It also support SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) which can allow for more fine tuning on the output (like volume, changes voices, speach rate, specific Phonemes, etc). Source: over 1 year ago

• Automating standups using GPT4 and Github APIs

  We think GitReport could replace standup apps like Geekbot. So we're making it into a product. More Git features are coming, like tracking issues and pull requests. Source: 9 months ago

• Agile / Scrum

  We run standups every day, however only 2x of them are a Teams call. The other 3 are run using a tool called Geekbot (Yes scrum masters do hate this) which is basically just a chatbot that sends you the standard standup questions and you can answer whenever you feel like it. This has helped our team heaps due to having such a huge mix of people in our team (Cloud Eng, Database Eng, Software Eng, Network Eng) that... Source: 12 months ago

• What do you really think of your daily standup?

  My new job recently pulled in https://geekbot.com/ to handle stand ups. Answer a couple basic questions when you login, and they’re all sent to a central channel. I’m not big on that type of communication in general, but it takes maybe 30 seconds each morning. Source: over 1 year ago

• As an IC, is there anything I can do about super cheerful team members using up meetings time?

  We use Geekbot to help standups. The feedback from each dev goes into a channel, then we talk about things that need to be addressed or things we're working on. Source: over 1 year ago

• Scrum Has Failed the Developers

  Back in 2005, I remember working on startups running on Scrum principles. It worked well at the time, we where able to ship, grow the team, and move forward with a nice few-features-per-week cadence, working remotely, on a small team; less than 10. Tt always worked fine, but very slow, as all-dev-things were at the time. I worked with ActiveColab in 2007, Skype 2007, Yammer 2009, Trello 2011, Pivotal Tracker 2013,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
