My last blog post for September. After not writing any blog posts for 4 years, I wrote 4 in one month!

New blog post!

Using small AI tools on Debian GNU/Linux

I am using the word as it is meant to be used, as click-bait. 😉

^ This blog post was made possible by notes taken in my @TiddlyWiki file. It would've felt like too much work to write otherwise. Assembling a blog post from a bunch of tiddlers + a little editing is quick and easy.

I just realized that I can't have both speech-to-text and text-to-speech working simultaneously in this setup. If I install the package `sox` on Debian, my speech-to-text setup works, but it breaks the speech-dispatcher somehow, so can't do text-to-speech.

Did anybody figure out how to get both of them working? i.e. Piper and Whisper

Edit: I think there is a problem with how Pied uses sox.

If you have a problem using with Firefox Reader Mode, install this Firefox extension as an alternative.

addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef

It uses the browser's local storage to store the Piper voices and runs entirely within the browser.

Expanded my recent blog post about small AI tools in Debian. Added a section about Firefox extensions for TTS and a section about Optical Character Recognition.

I have started quoting liberally in my linkblog (subscribe via RSS).

Earlier, I was only writing my own summary or opinion of the subject, but quoting adds more context. This is inspired by the writing style of Pixel Envy blog. pxlnv.com
