TextReads

What it does

Most Text-to-Speech tools read at you. TextReads reads with you. Every word and sentence is highlighted as it's spoken, so your eyes and ears stay in sync. Click any sentence to jump to that exact point. No copy-pasting, no separate app, just open an article, hit play, and follow along. Free to start, with multiple natural-sounding premium voices for longer sessions.

Free AI text to speech for the web. TextReads reads any article, blog post, or page aloud with natural AI voices, sentence highlighting, and word-level sync. Free to start.

A calm, literary text-to-speech reader for the web — free to start. Press play and follow along as it reads any article aloud in natural AI voices, with the cadence the words deserve. Somewhere around the third paragraph of a long article, attention starts to drift. The eyes move but the mind has already moved on, to the next tab, the next thought, the ambient pull of everything else. We call this reading, though it looks more like scanning. What we lose, when we skim, is the sentence itself: its architecture, its timing, its small payoffs buried in the middle clauses. There is a case that the voice fixes this. Not because audio is superior to text, but because hearing requires you to stay.…from textreads.com

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
