This looks super cool! Congrats on GA

Not sure why but I seem to be unable to share your website on facebook messenger. Maybe it mistakenly ended up on a blacklist?

I came across Serenade (https://serenade.ai/) recently. It's still beta but I was very impressed. In the past I've used vocola, and a few other open-source options. Serenade felt much more natural and powerful. The founders are also super hands-on and genuinely seem to care about the problem.

Yes, one of the founders is a coder who developed RSI and couldn’t find a good tool. In a form of UX bootstrapping, I’m pretty sure the product is being used to build itself

thank you this is worth looking into.

For about a week a few years back, I ran a twitter bot that did essentially this for tweets powered by mechanical turk.

I enjoyed waking up every morning to an often strange political message posted by my "bot".

@CrowdWisdomBot if anyone is curious :)

Doing it with cat photos is far more clever.

This looks great! I use voice control to program on occasion due to an rsi injury. The standard stack for this is a mess due to closed source systems that aren't designed for voice programmers. A good open solution could really save me from a lot of headaches.

Previously, there was VoxForge [0], but it seems dead. At least, I failed to contribute my voice there. Mozilla getting into this space is good news indeed.

You can take a look at what we build at https://snips.ai, we will open-source the platform later this year

Cool. Just curious on What is the voice engine behind snips ? and who is the provider of training data ?. Also do you have plans for supporting additional languages or can it be trained on when you open source it ?

I'm no graphics programmer but I was under the impression path-tracing is a subset of ray tracing that came out of this paper: http://artis.inrialpes.fr/Enseignement/TRSA/CookDistributed8...

Is this not correct?

Distribution ray tracing is not exactly pathtracing. Proper physically correct pathtracing was formulated by James Kajiya in this paper:
