jazz3020··on Show HN: Unreal Speech – Text-to-Speech API
Oh, I meant to say Azure. Not sure why I typed IBM.

Sure, that's why I put "arguably" as I honestly know that AWS is really good. But I did pick the best AWS voice which is the most popular one amongst many read aloud apps, though! Anyways, I'll try to implement speaker selection for AWS so that the comparison is more fair. I barely finished our multi-speaker feature before launching on PH.

Yeah, ours is obviously an early version developed with far less resources in less time. But I'm hoping that the 6-8x lower price point is a selling point (considering the quality is relatively comparable, and it'll get better)

Got it, I appreciate the feedback. I didn't really think about people searching for speech synthesis for unreal engine. I'll try to address this somehow!

Hmm, I've been in the space for a bit, and I think it's not unsafe to say I picked the best voice AWS provides. I could've implemented a multi-speaker feature for AWS, but I just didn't get a chance. I did try IBM, but it sounds worse than AWS?

Hey, the developer Eric here. Thanks for checking out this super early version of the project. How can I make it right?

Hey! Cofounder Eric here. I 100% agree. We will get some info about us on our site in a bit.

For now, here's some quick info about us. We're just two hackers living in San Francisco.

Kyle's quitting his job at Cruise Automation in a few days (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylejohnmorris/).

I've never had an actual job before haha. I've just been messing around building stuff (https://www.linkedin.com/in/automationist/)

Did you build Beaker Browser? Would love to get connected.

Yo, thanks for that idea. We will figure out a way to add something like that in a couple of days. We have an iOS app in TestFlight if you wanna give it a go. https://testflight.apple.com/join/qrGhAVUC

Hey, guys! Unfortunately, PG would like me to take it down. So it will no longer be available, but you can use https://audiblogs.com to listen to web articles privately.
jazz3020··on Show HN: Paul Graham Audio Essays
Uhh- I reached out to PG a few times but didn't get a response. So I just left him a note saying that I would take it down if he wants.

Hey, you're welcome. I used AWS Polly.

Hey, guys! The developer here.

I realized I end up not reading a lot of interesting articles because I am lazy. So I just tried converting them into podcasts and have been really liking it.

I am posting to get some feedback on the very 1st version that just got approved on Chrome Web Store. Please expect it to be janky, but I will address any issues asap.

jazz3020··on Augment HN: Chrome Plugin to Show HN Comments Right on the Article
Hi everyone, the developer Eric Jung here. This is literally the very first version. It's real shitty, but lots of updates are on the way. Let me know how I could improve the tool.

P.S. I have no clue why Chrome says it contains "Mature content."
