Text to Speech

Hi. 😄

We can use this application to utter our text.

To search a particular speech synthesis model, we can clear the input first then type anything. For instance, english, italiano, google, or microsoft (if we're using Windows OS). The input is above the text Type or click to search voice.

This application implements SpeechSynthesis (Web Speech API).

About

This demonstration is using our operating system built-in speech models (either Windows or macOS — with no single built-in TTS system across all Linux distros) and Google's.

Other example is

Doctor Ossbita

We can't "record" the utterance audio output programmatically with JS or browser extension script because:

It's not a media stream like getUserMedia.
It does not emit audio that JavaScript can capture — it bypasses AudioContext, MediaStream, etc.
It's a one-way street straight to the system voice.

But we still can capture it with OBS Studio or similar screen/desktop recorder software (installed on operating system, not as browser extension script).

This (text to speech API in general) is useful so our application can produce speech, to make it more relatable to us. As in done in ChatGPT, Gemini, Siri, and other digital applications/services.

Text to Speech Service for Content Creation

For content creation, to narrate the text for a video, we can try:

ElevenLabs

Most popular with creators for its hyper-realistic, expressive voices. Allows voice cloning and emotional intonation. Free tier available, but "watermark" appears unless paid. Watermark = an additional audio overlay.
Play.ht

Known for natural-sounding voices. Web-based, quick to generate, decent voice library.
TikTok/Instagram Native TTS (powered by Amazon Polly or similar)

Built-in and very commonly used for convenience.

Sci-Fi

Did you notice every sci-fi, they always put that voice feedback from the digital contraption?

Like in Star Trek, where did they put the microphones and the loudspeakers? 🤔 The entire "ship" consists of grids of alternating microphones-loudspeakers? Well, mayhap. How did the computer differentiate "computer" and "computer", as in when people chattering about their instruction for computer instead of actually giving instruction? No off switch for the microphones I believe.

Speech to Text

Greetings. 😀 We can use this application to capture our speech and convert it into text. Independent Application Change Roll Fix, 05 August 2025: onchage . 🤦 Changelog? Change roll sounds like a dodgy sushi special. 🤔 I provide some of most common language options for the recognition. This works on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and some Android browsers. With this, we can right away get the text of a conversation, supposedly. Convenient. We can use our cellphone. I guess there will be missing recognition. Especially when the speech is wicked or there's too much background noise. This application implements webkitSpeechRecognition (non-standard API). At the moment, or any other moment, there is no English (Gibberish) . The code en-🤪 is hard to train and wasteful. Blibber blabber foofoo twaddle twaddle snarf is not common in anywhere. webkitSpeechRecognition is indeed powered by Google's cloud speech recognition backend, ev...

GPT-5

Good day. OpenAI released the latest models: GPT-5 and GPT-5 Thinking . I usually on GPT-4o for casual banters about anything. Most of the idle times, about films and telly shows I watched randomly. For instance, why did people in a jungle expedition (in those films) wear tank tops knowing they'd be, at least, in a jungle? Shouldn't safety be the first consideration? Not that we can't wear tank tops in the jungle. But when the story is about gigantic venomous, aggressive spider, reptile, other muppets — it means safety is numero uno. Not one of them brought pesticide, none. Lalala, let's stroll around here, let the wind carries us away. At least, I'd expect, once they met the beasts along the way, ran away in panic — oh hey, let's not go there. AND.... they did the opposite. 😂🤷 Proper, that. We don't munch popcorn to watch professional pest-control blokes do their job, do we? Oi, Bob! What's that popcorn for? Any good film? Termites. ...

The Boy Who Wanted More... PDF

I was looking around for folktales from around the world. And, a-ha! That Dutch folktale, "The Boy Who Wanted More Cheese" — Klaas. So then I searched that on mobile, and this autocomplete appeared... 🤣 Most unexpected... Hm, now then, what have we here? The village Volendam in the story most certainly has no internet, nor even a computer, as it is set in a time before the Integrated Circuit (IC) was invented. 🤔 😃 We shall proceed with modern Klaas then. 💡 A tale of a boy with three keyboards, two mice, and regrets.

Chess: Offence Against Modern Defence: Hm Variation

I played white (offence) in 3 minutes Super Blitz on Lichess as Anonymous. Opening theory? Ignored. Material balance? Hm. In this game, as a drunk bard, my strategy was an alternating: Let's try this - Oh, well - Don't mind if I do! 🤦 It was hilarious at the end (22nd banter). 💥 I didn't realise I constructed a proper prison. Hm, alright, I did plot that. You can use your left and right arrows on your keyboard or use the mouse scroll to see the moves back and forth on the chessboard. But first, click the board. Hm. 🤔 Chess Training on Lichess Learn 🧐 There's LEARN menu on Lichess. You might want to navigate the sub-menus to find out more. From Chess basics to Coaches .

Math: (Shortcut for) Simplifying (Denesting) Nested Square Roots

The basic form looks like this: Let's go to the methods and examples. PLUS √4 + √3 = 2 + √3 MINUS This is how we come up with 12 = 4 · 3 and 56 = 8 · 7 . The simplest way is to factor the number within the last square root. Then find the ones which if added will produce the first number. For instance √(8 + 2√15) We have 8 as the first number and 15 as the last one. Factors of 15: 1 · 15 = 15 3 · 5 = 15 Therefore, we choose the 2 nd one, the 3 · 5 = 15 Because ➡️ 3 + 5 = 8 So we have x = 3 and y = 5 We put all together ➡️ √(8 + 2√15) = √3 + √5 Trick #1 Trick #2

Using CDATA Section to Escape Characters on Blogger.com

Health: Stomach Ulcer and Food Poisoning Quick Treatment

First of all, I'm not a medical doctor. I have an engineering degree in low power electrical field and I am a web developer. 😶 But I do have lots of experiences handling these: stomach ulcer and food poisoning ; for myself and for other people around me. And of course, I have friends, colleagues, and family which are medical professionals. Mostly medical doctors. Let me share some of quick treatments for stomach ulcer and food poisoning . Stomach Ulcer: The Habit Sometimes, or most of the time, as we get older, we do not take meal with constant periodical cycle like while we were children or teens. But as I've noticed nowadays, teens also have that habit . Our human body can adapt, if you notice, to that kind of punishment . At first, it was probably really hurt, and as the time went by, we no longer feel the pain. It has multiple meanings: Our nerves ( nociceptors ) finally ignore the pain signal because we consciously and constantly pre...

JavaScript: Sleep Function

We sometimes need a thing to delay the execution of the next function. There is no built-in method to do that. But, it is possible by implementing both Promise and setTimeout . In prior times, we only had setTimeout , or combined using setInterval . That worked. But now, we have Promise . So let's use it. Create the Function Let's name our function as sleep . /** * Delays execution for a specified duration. * * This function returns a Promise * that resolves after the given number of milliseconds. * It can be used to introduce asynchronous delays * in JavaScript code. * * @param {number} ms - The duration of the delay * in milliseconds. * @returns {Promise<void>} A Promise that resolves * after the specified time. * */ function sleep(ms) { return new Promise(function (resolve) { setTimeout(resolve, ms); }); } Or we can compact that using arrow expression, as such: const sleep = (ms) => (new Promise((resolve) => ...
