Speechable – AI Text-to-Speech for WordPress Websites
Hi HN / YC I just shipped Speechable — a free, open-source AI text-to-speech solution for WordPress that runs entirely in the browser with no API keys, no paid services, and no server infrastructure. I wrote a full write-up here: https://tanishmittal.com/speechable-ai-text-to-speech-for-wo... What it does Adds a native audio player to WordPress posts Uses browser-based neural TTS Supports 12+ languages Offers multiple voice presets & effects Lets visitors download audio Highlights words in sync with narration Why I built it Most TTS plugins depend on expensive APIs,…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN / YC I just shipped Speechable — a free, open-source AI text-to-speech solution for WordPress that runs entirely in the browser with no API keys, no paid services, and no server infrastructure. I wrote a full write-up here: https://tanishmittal.com/speechable-ai-text-to-speech-for-wo... What it does Adds a native audio player to WordPress posts Uses browser-based neural TTS Supports 12+ languages Offers multiple voice presets & effects Lets visitors download audio Highlights words in sync with narration Why I built it Most TTS plugins depend on expensive APIs, external servers, and data sharing. I wanted: Privacy-first experiences No recurring costs High-quality voice output Easy install for any WordPress site Try it Repo & docs: https://github.com/tansihmittal/speechable Would love feedback — especially on: UX pain points Performance in real blogs Edge cases you think it should support If you try it or build something cool with it, shoutout on X: @glowdopera Thanks!

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…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
