Is there any positive use case for this technology? YC, care to comment?
- rockemsockem 3y agoI'm honestly a bit baffled at the lack of thought here. Anything written can be listened to with this tech. Any news article, any short story, a draft of a piece of writing you're working on. There is too much text for human beings to read it all. Translating from one medium to another is extremely useful.
- arroz 3y agoStop being lazy It is faster to read than to listen to something
- kirkbackus 3y agoNot for everybody, also it would be great to consume textual content in a variety of voices, or even my own.
- flangola7 3y agoSome of us have processing disorders. I can listen about 3x as fast as I can read.
- snerbles 3y agoI'm not going to read while driving. TTS with natural inflection opens up a world of narration to stories with audiences too small for human narration.
- rockemsockem 3y agoThat's just ridiculous. I read and listen to stuff. I listen when I'm walking my dog, driving places, cooking, etc. I read when I'm sitting in bed or just sitting around with a book. Different scenarios call for different mediums.
