Document and webpage reader with TTS that doesn't suck
- 1YP
Yapit converts PDFs and web pages to audio, with a vision-LLM pipeline that handles math and complex layout instead of garbling them. I built it because I read a lot of papers and content online, but drift off after two paragraphs. Listening while following along keeps me focused and lowers the bar to actually start. Every TTS tool I tried broke on complex formatting. Papers with math, citations, figure references, page numbers in the middle of sentences. You either get garbled output or you're listening to raw LaTeX. Yapit converts everything to markdown as a common format. For web pages,…

Hey HN! I wanted to share this OSS project I've been working on. It's called Yap and its a small menu-bar app for macOS that does voice to text for any input. You'll set a hotkey, press it, talk, press it again, and the text gets pasted into whatever field you were in. Everything runs locally and never leaves your computer. Fully OSS and MIT licensed. With macOS 26, Apple recently added two new APIs, SpeechAnalyzer and SpeechTranscriber, that do streaming on-device speech to text using models the OS ships and manages. So the app ships no model of its own and loads nothing before the first…

Hi HN! For the last 8 months we've been working on leaflet.pub, a web app for making delightful documents. We're trying to strike a balance between Notion and Google Docs — very fast, ultralight and easy to share, but also supporting rich blocks and multiple pages. Weirdly, none of the many notetaking/document apps that we could find hit this combination, so we made Leaflet. With it you can: - Instantly create a doc, without an account - Share read and edit links - Sign-in with email to sync your docs to different devices - Add rich blocks, like canvases, subpages, rsvps, and polls It's…

Shown HN: Lue - Terminal eBook Reader with Text-to-Speech Hello, Just went live on GitHub with this project. I really enjoy listening to my eBooks as audiobooks but was frustrated by the available options. Converting books into audiobooks with scripts is tedious, and most tools stumble over footnotes, headers, or formatting. I wanted something simple: just throw a book at it, and it starts reading immediately without any clicking or loading. I also wanted it to be customizable and modular because new, better TTS engines are released all the time. For this initial release, I settled on Edge…

Hey everyone I'm the creator of Voice Out, and I'm super excited to share it with you! Voice Out is a Chrome extension that lets you 'read' by listening. It turns any webpage, Google Doc, or PDF into speech with just a click. Now, you can go through your reading list while working, commuting, or doing chores. I packed it with tons of languages and voices so you can customize your listening experience. And the best part? It's completely free! You can also enable commercial voices from OpenAI, Google, Azure, Amazon etc, using an API key. I set mine to use the OpenAI voice - it works great and…
