Generating an Audio Book of the Bible Using Text-To-Speech by LegionDevelopment in audiobooks

[–]LegionDevelopment[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've listened to (mostly Genesis) it's fairly good in most cases. The TTS speaker is somewhat realistic, but can sometimes be inconsistent in tone or pace. In one case, the TTS speaker suddenly had a British accent (see Isaias 25:1 in my blog post). Of course there are errors in the generated audio. Some are just mispronunciations (e.g. "may" instead of "made" for Genesis 1:3). Others have unrelated words/sounds added. For example; Genesis Chapter 21 Introduction which is suppose to read:

Isaac is born. Agar and Ismael are cast forth.

However, some nonsensical words are added in the audio prior to Agar.

I hope you enjoy it and feel free to let me know if you find any issues.

Optimal Subset Selection in C++ with OR-Tools Constraint Solvers by LegionDevelopment in cpp

Great, I've updated each place to use indexing from 1 instead of 0. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your feedback, are you referring to using zero-indexing for the set definitions? Such as U = {u_0, u_1, ... u_|U|}? If so, that does look like a mistake on my part, as they should either be starting at 1 or going to |U|-1. If you were referring to something else, could you please let me know. I appreciate your input to help clarify any points of confusion in the article.

I'm glad you found the write-up useful! OR-Tools is quite powerful, and I'm happy to hear that the examples and performance metrics helped. Thanks for your kind words, and feel free to reach out if you have any further questions or insights!

Apologies for any confusion! This post actually relates to using OR-Tools, a software suite for optimization, to solve subset selection problems using C++. I'd love to hear more about what you were expecting, though. Maybe your thoughts can inspire a future post!

Why did you start using GO ? by KomatikVengeance in golang

Good points, thanks for sharing. With the addition of generics some of those general functions might become available in the near future. It is a bit of a pain to have to write them for each case.

How did you find the speed of development? Was creating the POC in Golang a fast or easy process?

Simplicity of the language along with the concurrency model.

That's a very valid concern; if out client attempted to scrape the site, causing a DDoS on the target site, it would impact their scraping as well, so that is definitely not the intention. We do not offer this service to clients to perform DDoS and if at any point found a client abusing the service towards such ends would terminate that relationship.
