It’s amazing how far text to speech has come in the past few years, but what I’m wondering is when this tech will finally make it into local TTS engines baked into the OS (eg for screen readers, etc)


The accessibility nerd in me is excited!


This is already built into recent iOS devices and it’s called Live Captions.


Same with Android (Pixel phones at least).

I'm the most excited for an open source one though, and it would be incredible if this could become it. I do 95% of my compute on desktop linux and it sucks being behind.
