Jayson SmithHere's a demonstration of Richard, one of the two new Blastbay formant-based neural text to speech voices. In this demo, I've deliberately installed the trial version on one of my computers so you get to hear the degraded audio once the one-minute trial period ends. Transcript in alt text.
Andre Louis@jaybird110127 Good AudioMo.
@FreakyFwoof Yeah I didn't use the hashtag since I haven't been participating.
@jaybird110127 No reason not to, if you want to. Nobody has to participate once, twice or even at all.
The Evil Chocolate Cookie@jaybird110127 @FreakyFwoof so getting involved in the middle of the month is perfectly acceptable? What is it anyway? I saw it this year, I saw it last year, and I still don’t understand it one little bit.
@evilcookies98 @jaybird110127 Posting audio in the month of June with the hashtag. That's it. That's all there is to it. You join a group of us that post a lot or a little. The AudioMo account boosts each one that joins the hash tag and posts audio, so it's seen by a group of people that are not necessarily your followers. It's fun.
@jaybird110127 @FreakyFwoof all right! That sounds like fun. I’m totally in.
@evilcookies98 @jaybird110127 Search for the hash tag. You'll find posts from all over the world, all sorts of people, you may even like some of them.
@jaybird110127 @FreakyFwoof this is awesome sauce. Too bad I wasn’t recording the other night when my glasses misidentified one of my audio games as a sex toy. That would’ve totally been worth posting.
@evilcookies98 @jaybird110127 If you look at the hash tag, you'll see all sorts of people joining in. Blind, sighted, it's probably the time when more sighted people post audio than ever before. Just because you didn't post every day this month, no reason stopping you posting even the once and never again if you don't wish to.
