local-tts

Make your coding agent talk to you! Offline!

What it does

Make your coding agent talk to you! A tiny command-line text-to-speech tool. It shells out to llama.cpp's llama-tts by default, so speech is generated locally and offline. Zero runtime dependencies. The package installs nothing but itself — no requests, no numpy, no audio libraries. Everything is Python's standard library plus binaries you already have (or install once, on your terms).

Make your coding agent talk to you! -- Simple, offline and online (optional). Ask your coding agent to install it for you - rperez93/local-tts

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • 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.
