One of the coolest things of making an ultra fast, local, TTS system, is that you can give real time voices to your AI systems. Play with a demo here. It's a bit like the Realtime API from OpenAI, but free instead of 10 cents per minute. Play with it on the website to chat with Speaklone in real time. Why pay for voice?

*Sigh* Once more unto the breach, dear friends. I’m back on the job market and looking for the right fit.

I have experience:
💡As a versatile UX / product designer,
🔍 As a dedicated user researcher,
🤝🏼 As a compassionate design leader, and;
🛠️ As a front end developer who cares deeply about accessibility and performance.

A small sample of favorite projects I’ve worked on over the years

@dylanmalone Back in the 80’s at Apple, I was asked to write an app to let developers play with the text to speech on the Macintosh. I put something together that let you play with the settings, make presets, etc. I got it to do a fair imitation of Julia Childs. It pronounced “doughnut” as “duffnut.” But I think there were ways to make it do right with some control characters. My Inside Macintosh is now buried in a closet, so may be wrong about that.
I realize I'm biased, but tell me this isn't one of the coolest examples of local on device ML on Apple Silicon today? Very proud of this app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/speaklone/id6758415075

Fun when a YouTuber (who makes a lot of great content by the way, check her out), features my new app Speaklone, and it's already made an impact. It's nice to see people enjoy something you worked so hard on, and very motivating to work more! #indiedev #macoS #ios

Qwen3-TTS: Voice Cloning & Voice Designer on Mac, CODE FREE

Even a sandboxed Mac App Store app can really do a lot on #macoS these days. Really proud of how well Speaklone brings hyper accurate, fast dictation, plus state of the art voice cloning and speech to text to the Mac. Can't listen to Siri much longer! #iOS #indiedev

I'm unreasonably excited about this #iOS and #macOS release. The best #tts and #voice tech on the platforms to my knowledge. No subscriptions. Universal app - one unlock covers every platform.

State of the art voice that runs 100% on device, no cloud, private, and no ongoing fees.

On day 4 of App Store review, I started writing folk songs. #macOS #iOS #indiedev

Lyrics by me, performed by Suno in a folk-comedy-acoustic style. Speaklone - local voice synthesis for Mac (hopefully): (speaklone.com)

Oh look at that button. I'm just clicking that to get things off the ground. Well done. Thanks.
I'm not sure the best way to get indie #iOS #mlx #ml noticed on Mastodon. I've horribly neglected the platform, even though so many of my dev friends and heroes (looking at you @atpfm ) wisely came here long ago.
