SceneReaderAI
Hi HN, I built SceneReaderAI to help actors and creators hear their scripts read aloud using natural AI voices. You can try it free (200 words included) here → https://scenereaderai.com It supports 6+ AI voices, lets you replay your readings unlimited times, and charges only per spoken word (no monthly subscription). I’d love feedback on: • How clear the workflow feels • Whether the pay-per-word model makes sense • What voices/features would make it more useful for you I’m the solo builder and launched this earlier this year — would really appreciate your thoughts!

What it does
AI-powered tool designed to make rehearsing and self-taping easier for actors. It provides realistic AI voices as readers, so you can practice your scenes anytime, anywhere—without the need for a partner. Works on Chrome and Safari.
Rehearse your audition scenes anytime with an AI scene partner. Upload your script, assign voices to your scene partners, and practice self-tapes without needing a reader.
No Reader? No Problem. Every actor knows the struggle: you get an audition with 24-48 hours to submit, your friends are not available, your reader is monotone, and practicing alone makes timing, reactions, and emotional beats harder. Meet Your AI Scene Partner. SceneReaderAI lets you upload your script and assign realistic AI voices to your scene partners so you can rehearse dialogue naturally, anytime. No scheduling. No favors. No awkward reads. Built for Actors at Every Level. Whether you are preparing a last-minute self-tape, practicing as an acting student, refining timing as a working actor, or rehearsing before a callback, SceneReaderAI gives you independence and control.

Pinch2025 · startpinch.com · ▲535Hey HN! I’m Christian, daily lurker and some might remember our original launch post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42935355). Today we're launching Pinch for Mac, which we believe is a step-change improvement in real-time AI translation. Our vision is to make cross-lingual conversations feel as natural as regular conversations. TL:DR During an online meeting, the app instantly transcribes and translates all audio you hear, and allows you to decide when you translate your voice and when you don't. It's invisible to others (like Granola), and works everywhere without any…

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
