Listen to TTS content in private RSS feeds

Hey HN! I’m excited to show off a small project I’ve been tinkering with called redecibel. redecibel lets you listen to text to speech content in your podcast player. Your audio gets published to your own private RSS feed that isn’t searchable in podcast players. Some of the features: - Unlimited audio generation, downloads, and storage - Listen in your podcast player via private RSS feeds or on our website - Choose from 6 AI voices - Immersive reading experience with word definitions and classifications in web app - Share audio with your friends - Listen in 40+ languages. Input text…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN! I’m excited to show off a small project I’ve been tinkering with called redecibel. redecibel lets you listen to text to speech content in your podcast player. Your audio gets published to your own private RSS feed that isn’t searchable in podcast players. Some of the features: - Unlimited audio generation, downloads, and storage - Listen in your podcast player via private RSS feeds or on our website - Choose from 6 AI voices - Immersive reading experience with word definitions and classifications in web app - Share audio with your friends - Listen in 40+ languages. Input text language is automatically detected It costs $12/month or $120/year. Start with a 7 day free trial that you can cancel anytime. No CC required. Some background on the project: Recently, I was learning about AI and was keeping notes in a google doc. Then I was going for a jog, and wanted a way to listen to my notes while running. So I spent the weekend building a prototype and have been refining it over the past few weeks. I chose RSS feeds as the core listening medium because you can listen to them in most podcast players and I didn’t want to use yet another audio app. I’ve since added a way to listen directly on our website after a few early users requested it. Today, I mainly use redecibel to queue up interesting HN articles in my podcast player that I otherwise wouldn’t have time to read. Hope you enjoy it! Would love any feedback. What features should I build next?

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
