Post 3.0 TGSpeechbox feature list:
- user dictionaries importable from subscription URLs
- explore option to have reverb and other post-DSP effects applied.
- potentially new female-specific phoneme tables, or manually-tuned overrides per profile. Beth and Bobby got some attention in the 3.0 cycle, but not enough. V3.X will solve this.
- Ability to edit voice profiles on mobile, save and export your voice changes as a voice profile and name it.
- Linux Spiel support and flatpack bundle.
I just saw someone unironically write that they do not trust Firefox because they do not trust a browser paid by google to include AI slop features, and that’s why they prefer Chrome.

And speaking of friends and tech things, another person took a stab at having an iOS app created that is a completely VoiceOver accessible FMDX and Kiwi SDR tuner with all sorts of nifty features like automatic RDS read out by VO, tuning through the rotor and headphone controls, all of the web interface features like the presets, built-in chat etc. as well as recording the played radio output. Having been involved in testing, I can say this is the closest we may get to having an actual global radio receiver on a mobile device. Android version in the making. https://testflight.apple.com/join/bbTvprWc #Radio #Accessibility #Blind #iOS

For any fans of retro speech synthesis, a legend has spoken at last - well at least a legend for me. In the early 00's, Wirtualna Polska, one of the leading web portals providing free-of-charge mailboxes, daily news, TV schedule and many things that made Internet attractive at that time, has released their own speech synthesizer dubbed, very creatively, Syntezator Mowy WP. The main goal of it was to read out messages and contact status changes in their instant messaging app, WP Kontakt, later Spik, pronounced like the English word "speak". It was an exe running in the system tray, waiting to be sent text. It wasn't compatible with any SAPI version and other than WP Kontakt, it was only ever used in various instant messaging software, mostly through third-party plugins. It's based off Festival but the voice base belonged to WP. Years have passed, the instant messaging scene in Poland, once ripe with local products, was taken over by the international solutions the likes of Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp and so Spik and the accompanying TTS ceased being developed further. The installers for both the male and female voices are hard to come by (the male one is still hosted by several general purpose websites with installers for all sorts of things but I still pulled it off one of the old copies of the original website that the Internet Archive has to offer). The link for the female voice is dead there and the only single lead I got by Googling the original installer's file name is a web folder of someone on a Polish file hosting website - sadly, this one's expired too, so unless someone's got a copy of it locally, it may very well be lost media. The original software can be installed but won't speak. Thanks to one friend tinkering a little, it started speaking through all sorts of modern things and the attached recording is the male voice reading huge numbers - it could actually go upto heptillions. #RetroTech #Accessibility #Blind #TextToSpeech

So my acquaintance decided to spend the night by streaming his first reaction to Super Liam 1.5. Although he's hungarian himself, he can switch to English anytime so let's make him happy with some views and comments!

Also, I promise you, if your website tells me to turn off my ad blockers, my only reaction is to close the tab and never think about your site again.

I pay for content happily.

I don’t pay for surveillance.

Do you know what is really hard to recognize?
It's when you escape into a relationship or a friendship just to feel like you truly belong somewhere. That you really matter to someone. I just read a post about an old friend of mine who is exactly in this phase right now, and it is so hard to stop myself from helping him, from warning him that he is going to get hurt. I can't say anything because it's none of my business, it's not my life, and overall, we don't even talk anymore.
In my second relationship, I fell in love with someone from abroad. The distance between us was huge, and although he visited me a few times, I was absolutely sure he would never be willing to move to me; I had to make the move. I knew exactly that he wouldn't wait for me if I didn't do anything. So I went on a study trip and decided that no matter what it takes, I was going to study there. That way, I could be with him and further my education at the same time. Three months later, the guy realized that it bothered him that he had no personal space (even though he was home completely alone all day), and he and his mother kicked me out of the house. That was when I realized I had practically bet my whole life on a single person, acted for a single goal, and meanwhile, I didn't even care about those who, although they didn't try to stop me, at least tried to warn me. I just pushed away everyone who was getting to be too much, and I didn't contact them anymore.
And now I see the same pattern, and it's incredibly hard because this guy and I were really good friends for nearly six years. What is the guarantee he would even listen to me? Almost none, since we have nothing to do with each other anymore. He would do the exact same thing I did: push away everyone who rationally tried to tell him the truth.
Over the past few years, I think I have become incredibly strong emotionally, and I can see behind things much more easily now. I had to toughen up because I didn't want to die. Or rather, yes I did, after my family practically brought me back home, and I felt I had no place on Earth anymore. I'll be honest, I almost hurt myself. The only reason I didn't do it was that I wasn't alone, and my best friend kept talking to me until I realized that I have a wonderful father, two awesome sisters, a loving grandmother, my best friend, and they all love me. And let this motivate everyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

So well, new Super Liam... Am I the only one who's a bit disappointed? Like seriously. It's all the old stuff, with all the low-quality, distorted cutscenes, plus a new mode with the old enemies plus some AI slop.
I loved the original edition. I think any fellow blind person at my age has played it at some time and for us it's really nostalgic. This game was my childhood. It would have deserved a much better remake. Liam has a really solid past of programming and he's really talented. However, releasing a mode that's just some well-read results of a prompt to Claude and the same old stuff with AI music in the background is so disappointing. The game was so hyped most people thought it'll be something more uniqe. I personally never wanted the soundds to be redesigned, it's good as it was before, it gives nostalgic vibes. But fixing clipping, distortion and overall sound quality would have been a good idea and actually it would have meant "remake."
Now I just don't know what to think. I'll need to give it a go off-stream because this strange acting stole the show, after a while I just didn't want to keep watching due to the constant "oh there aren't any more modes, bye everyone, ooo what we are seeing here, I can't believe, a new mode!" Like we aren't 5 years old, we came here to watch what's new.
Well. Let's see, probably already tomorrow, but it'll be interesting to experience the new stuff myself and not judge on first impression.
