Hi HN, r2t2 is a command-line tool for transmitting data through sound using the PC speaker on the motherboard. The name of the tool is a reference to the R2-D2 robot from Star Wars :) In short, you type some message and it gets FSK modulated and transmitted via sound through the PC speaker. Note that this is the speaker/buzzer that you connect to the motherboard and not the regular speakers that you connect to the sound card. I also made a simple web page that listens to the sound emitted by r2t2 and decodes the received messages. The page can be used by simply opening it on your phone…

Welcome to Project S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. This is a project that allows anyone to easily build their own self-hosted J.A.R.V.I.S-like voice assistant. In my mind vocal computing is the future of human-computer interaction and by open sourcing this code I hope to expedite us on that path. I have had a blast working on this so far and I'm excited to continue to build with it. It uses whisper.cpp [1], Coqui TTS [2] and OpenAI [3] to do speech-to-text, text-to-text and text-to-speech inference all 100% locally (except for text-to-text). In the future I plan to swap out OpenAI for llama.cpp [4]. It is…

Hey all, Last year I attempted to build an assistive voice programming tool as part of my undergraduate dissertation in CS. Speech2Code offers support for the basic features of the JavaScript language, accepts commands in both English and Portuguese, integrates well with the VSCode editor, and also works on the browser. Hope you like, thanks!

Hi Hacker News! I’m David Huie. I’m launching SpeechOS, a drop-in voice input SDK for web apps. I was inspired by Wispr Flow and wanted the same workflow inside business apps (CRMs, docs, forms, support tools), not just a standalone tool. It’s saved me a massive amount of time vs typing. How it works: add a couple lines of JS plus an API key, and SpeechOS shows a small mic widget on every text field. Live demo: https://www.speechos.ai/ (Click a text box and the mic widget appears; click the gear icon to see settings, custom vocabulary, and snippet configuration.) Users can: -…
