VocalOhm Voice Resistor Calculator SMD

What it does

Calculating resistor values with full hands is a pain. That's why I built VocalOhm a fast, voice-powered calculator for resistor color codes, SMD codes, and parallel circuits. Just speak (e.g., "brown black red", "smd 123 " or "100kohm") to get instant results without putting down your tools. Built as an ultra-lightweight Web App, it works entirely offline on your device (local voice recognition). Zero cookies, no sign-ups, and no tracking - just a privacy-first utility for hardware makers.

Advanced voice-controlled resistor calculator. Decode 4, 5, 6 color bands, SMD codes, and calculate parallel resistance instantly. Perfect for electronics engineers and hobbyists. Works offline.

  I built a sub-500ms latency voice agent from scratchMar 2026 · ntik.me · ▲570

  I built a voice agent from scratch that averages ~400ms end-to-end latency (phone stop → first syllable). That’s with full STT → LLM → TTS in the loop, clean barge-ins, and no precomputed responses. What moved the needle: Voice is a turn-taking problem, not a transcription problem. VAD alone fails; you need semantic end-of-turn detection. The system reduces to one loop: speaking vs listening. The two transitions - cancel instantly on barge-in, respond instantly on end-of-turn - define the experience. STT → LLM → TTS must stream. Sequential pipelines are dead on arrival for natural…

  A personalised AI tutor with < 1s voice responses2024 · educationbot.cerebrium.ai · ▲72

  TLDR: We created a personalised Andrej Karpathy tutor that can response to questions about his Youtube videos in sub 1 second responses (voice-to-voice). We do this using a voice enabled RAG agent. See later in the post for demo link, Github Repo and blog write up. A few weeks ago we released the worlds fastest voice bot, achieving 500ms voice-to-voice response times, including a 200ms delay waiting for a user to stop speaking. After reaching the front page of HN, we thought about how we could take this a step further based on feedback we were getting from the community. Many companies were…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;text.blogosphere.app&#x2F; Non-minimal: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogosphere.app&#x2F; If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
