old man and the cbowns@stephenrobles is yours of a similar vintage as @Casey’s from Eleven Labs for Platformer? It’s been enjoyable to listen to the audio columns

@cbowns Not sure exactly sure how Platformer does it, I record most of my daily episodes live, but if i’m traveling or can’t get to a mic i generate it.
Ryan Jones@gruber @sixcolors someone smart probably suggested this to you a year ago. Oh wait
Michael@gruber @sixcolors I love that. I really want an RSS reader that does the same for regular articles.
I hope Apple adds Siri voices to their AVSpeechSynthesizer API. The currently available non-Siri on-device voices sound really bad, cloud APIs are expensive, and on-device open source TTS models are resource intensive and limited in other ways.
@mi @sixcolors It’s fascinating to think where this might be going. There are a lot of directions for this.
