Just a random thought.
As Generative AI is being used for creating a lot of content these days, what happens when the next generation of AI models are trained using that content.
When AI models are trained on AI generated content, we'll officially enter the 8th circle of hell #ai#generativeai#AItransparency#discussion
Important notice!!!
After installing this version, you will lose all of your installed voices. Please use the voice manager to re-install the voices again.
@mush42 Knowing Adobe, it will be for a very limited subset of PDFs produced by their own software. Never trust a company that has two incompatible standards for managing form data ...
(I used to be a prepress programmer, so I've experienced a whole load of really terrible PDFs. At best, they're digital marks on paper. I also remember the whole "tagged PDF" thing from the early 2000s)
@scruss
For this project, I'd forgo parsing the PDF stream, and extract symantic structure using a visual rendition. Then I'd use this symantic metadata to parse the PDF stream and extract text.
@ekuber
For me, Rust is one of the most pleasant languages to work with.
I like the fully integrated DX, the extremely helpful compiler, and the commandline first tooling.
IMO the formatting of compiler error messages involving complex type signitures needs to be improved. Since some types are elided I usually need to go through the message several times, and go back to the source to know what has been elided. This is because I cannot do side-by-side viewing.
• This version introduces a separate process for the TTS. This significantly increases responsiveness
• Installing voices is now easier using the integrated voice manager, which allows you to preview and download available voices
• The TTS no longer introduces unnatural pauses at the end of the line during say all
• and many other improvements and bug fixes
@mush42 Thanks for pointing me to a possible problem here. It looks like there's no way to change what the system identifies even if it's false. I appreciate the response.
@accessibleandroid no, all the ones I tried fail. When I press the download button, nothing happens, and TalkBack keeps losing focus and focusing the button.
For those who use the Piper voices add-on for #NVDASR I've just added an integrated "Voice Manager" where you can install new voices, and manage installed ones. So, no manual download, no TAR archives 🤗
A new version with the voice manager will be released later this month. Stay tuned!
@devinprater I got it working. And the German voices are funny. They all have problems pronuncing the open ch sound like in "ich" oder "echt", a sound much similar to the h sound in the English word "human". The way they speak it, they sound more like a Danish or Swedish person who had German as a second or third language in school. They also swallow some of the consonants we usually pronunce prominently. The only language in northern Europe that prominently does this is Danish. Or some Bri'ish accents where they got rid of all the ts. All the variants of German show the same problems, which is interesting. @KaraLG84@mush42
