    It's been a while now but once out of curiousity I tested the text to speech functionality (with my eyes closed) on an iPhone and another device (a laptop maybe?), and found iOS to be more advanced but still lacking. I don't know much about this but it's nice to see improvements. GrapheneOS seems to be a high value project in terms of dollars-to-output.

      Yeah I've never regretted a Monero donation to them.

      They accept more than 11 different payment methods[1] for donations and pay most of their devs in Monero.

        I'd like to donate with Monero, despite my misgivings about the privacy guarantees of RingCT, because I support the spirit of both projects. but I don't want to raise a red flag to my banking institutions or government. what's the least sketchy-looking way to acquire Monero to donate to projects like this?

      Even if you don’t value this particular function and even if it’s not as good as Google or Apple, I think it’s important to have viable free alternatives so if Google and Apple rapidly become (significantly more) actively hostile there are viable alternatives.

    Would be more interested in speech to text.

    Does it handle multilingual scenarios? For example 'Your line Сливница - Летище София is arriving'? Don't need perfect pronunciation, need it just to not spell it out letter by letter or hallucinate... (Matcha-TTS' demo on HF is broken and couldn't test for myself)

    Awesome! Now how do we use this? I tried selecting text and seeing if there was a "Speak" menu item but there doesn't seem to be.

      Comaps voice navigation maybe ?
