FUTO Voice Input - Privacy Respecting Text To Speech App - Lemmy

Right To Repair Advocate Louis Rossman recently announced the release of FUTO, a Text To Speech App that respects your privacy. After having played around with FUTO on my GrapheneOS Pixel, I can honestly say it’s nice to have. Using the Openboards Keyboard, I’ll admit that the one thing I missed about Gboards was its text to speech capability, but I refused to use it because it logs everything said into it. IMHO, the team that developed FUTO have created something truly special here, and I’d recommend anyone to at least try it out. There is a one time $10 payment, but the developers have basically made this more like an opt in donation, as you can just click ‘I Already Paid’ and utilize the app regardless of whether you paid or not. If you try FUTO out, and like it, maybe throw them a few bucks. Here [https://yewtu.be/watch?v=UCGaKvZpJYc] is an invidious link of Rossman talking about FUTO and its features.

Some folks on the [email protected] post about this the other day cautioned about a tracker present in the app.
Oh i wasn’t aware. Could you link the specific post? It’s not up on the feed from that community in jerboa…
I wish we had universal links to specific posts! Glad you were able to find it. Link for others: lemdro.id/post/2022094 - seems to be a few updates since my last visit.

On desktop anyways, the Instance Assistant extension ( [email protected] ) can let you jump between posts. I haven’t figured out a pattern on what the mobile apps are doing. Sometimes when I copy the link it’s from my home instance, sometimes it’s not.

ex. Here is the same post on a few different instances, generated by the extension:
