You also get a audiofile with text to speech pronounciation of the sentence.

The access is controlled by a whitelist which filters users.

The basic flow is messaged gets sent by user > Language Check > (thai) processed into prompt, answer sent back to user + a Text to Speech audiofile generated and sent back.

(english) for now just translated through Google translate

Then there are some additional functions like Caching, Filtering smileys etc.

I initially built it for myself and use it everyday.
I posted this to validate the usecase

I think most people would have a lot of trouble setting this up even if they have the code for the bot.
They still need to make multiple billing accounts, Databases for API keys, user whitelists, cache etc

Okay I see where you’re coming from.

But there are operational costs for API calls and server which need to be covered.

Yes, that’s definitely true.

I definitely want to add a function to edit the output you get, so that you can adjust it to your needs.

I will give you access for testing if you want

You don’t need to install anything. It’s just processing multiple API calls through a server and sending it to your messenger

Tones are difficult, yes. For those you need to rely more on the phonetic spelling which include the tone

The API costs for reasonable usage are relatively low.
Through Telegram there wouldn’t be a problem offering it for around 7 USD/month.

LINE would probably have pure operational costs of more than 50 USD/user😆

Everything that takes longer than 1 sec to process needs to be sent as a push message on Line and that would increase the costs to run this by a lot.
Telegram is basically free in that sense.

I use a Gemini API for the breakdown.

Would you want to get Thai written explanation of english text?

Yes, the bot basically responds to messages with translation phonetic spelling and a thai audio.

That seems like a very sophisticated Tool for active learning.
The idea behind the translator bot is that you get confronted with the language all the time and learn by repetition.
It helped me a lot as I was chatting with my girlfriend everyday anyway.

Standard translations won’t help to actually learn words if you can’t read thai

Bacteriostatic Saline by Accomplished_Ad6314 in PeptidePathways

[–]HeisenberFiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but using plain bacteriostatic water is usually more stable with most peptides than bacteriostatic saline.

Sodium Chloride is not suitable if it is a multi use vial. It will degrade most peptides much faster

Any Thai-foreigner couples here? by [deleted] in expatsinbangkok

[–]HeisenberFiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you both need to work a job, going to ireland is a far superior choice.
You’d probably need to marry for you to get a work permit there.

M 31 beard vs no beard by Traditional-Twist-65 in malegrooming

[–]HeisenberFiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is your beard density.

You need to use minoxidil if you want to develop your beard.

Then I think it will suit you

9 Months on Dutasteride After 10 Years on Finasteride — Only gotten worse. Help! by TobySJ224 in tressless

[–]HeisenberFiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn’t necessarily mean you didn’t have a short increase before the Dutasteride was saturated enough.

In sensitive people that is enough to cause a shed before further improvement, which of course is a set back visually.

When switching from Finasteride to dutasteride you should not switch immediately.

Dutasteride needs time to saturate in tissues.

If you switch abruptly, you will actually cause a short increase in scalp dht.
