My family and I are heading to Japan tomorrow and I’m so excited. While planning, my mom asked ChatGPT about one of our stops, and it warned it “might not be good for Grace because the rooms are often dark.” It even added that “not being able to see on top of being blind” would make it extra inaccessible. Uh… ChatGPT, do you know what blind means? Dark rooms are kind of my default, lol.

@Lino0876 @alexchapman Thank you so much. If you ever get a chance to travel, definitely take it.
@Lino0876 @alexchapman Thank you. I’ll be updating that over the weekend.
@Bri @alexchapman I also have that. This is quite the coincidence.
@Bri That’s true, I do have light perception, and can see some color, but not enough to be useful visually.
@J3317 Awesome! I’m so glad that it works.
@J3317 what is the name of the file, and what exactly did you write? It looks like mastodon added a comma after my post
BorrisToday, I downloaded the Piper, Neural TTS app on my iPhone. A couple of observations:
1. Due to what I believe is it's use of the length scale parameter to change speaking rate (I don't think there is actually another way to do this in Piper itself, pretty sure the Sonata addon for NVDA uses Sonicc), the speaking rate slider in Voiceover is actually the inverse of what you would expect. The higher the speaking rate, the slower the speech.
2. I tried to import a local voice that isn't in the community repository, and probably never will be. There is an 'import from files' button, which theoretically allows you to import a .onnx and it's accompanying .json file for a voice, but when I point to a folder and select files, then tap open, nothing at all happens, as far as I can tell. I am brought back to the main screen of the Piper app. I tried importing from a local folder on my phone, as well as Dropbox.
Has anyone experienced this behavior?
@J3317 It’s not fedora, it’s VMware. Open your .vmx file and add this to the bottom: pciSound.playBuffer = "40"
@fireborn Because of its battery drain, and seemingly broken menu to add voices from Files, I wonder if this was vibe coded? Also, what voice were you using on the device you were recording with. It sounds quite nice.
