Just shipped a big update to Free Voice Reader - added Kokoro TTS that runs 100% locally in your browser via WebGPU. What this means: • Unlimited text-to-speech, no character limits • Completely private: your text never leaves your device One-time ~80MB model download, then it's cached locally No account needed

I ended up buying $ 400 RayBan Meta but it's just sitting in my drawers because I really can't use it at work due to privacy concerns. A 30 second conversation with anyone would have helped me save $ 400. So I built this simple assistant that helps you evaluate your purchase against your goals and discretionary spending. Free to use since I have AI credits to burn.

I built this to solve two problems: 1. Urgent TTS need where I don't have time for complicated choices. For e.g., a cranky kid in the back-seat who wants a specific story and need to read something quick on the way to a meeting. The on-device TTS does not have speed options. 2. Play local files with a simple audio player that allows speed and equalizer controls. All current solutions on the app...
