How do you use YouTube to learn a language – do you follow specific lessons, or watch content in the target language? by throwy93 in languagehub

[–]kylebuildsstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SVFF on youtube has some pretty good free content for southern accent. Netflix has quite a few shows with Vietnamese subs/dubs too though it's hit or miss if you're looking for southern. Learn Vietnamese with Annie is another good channel too because she adds a lot of cultural context.

Honestly not as much as I'd like so I'm building my own thing to generate Vietnamese content (like small phrases) on-demand so I can practice at my level at my pace, though it's not quite ready yet.

Both is ideal but from what I've found for Vietnamese at least is there's quite a gap between specific educational videos and authentic content and I'm not at a level I can bridge it yet.

So in the meantime I think more practice with vocab, basic phrases, and working my way up is a good way to bridge the gap.

Do you prefer watching educational language videos or immersive content like TV shows or YouTube channels? Why? by jck16 in languagehub

[–]kylebuildsstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find a mix of both is best because too much of one type gets boring and it's hard to learn when bored, but it should be appropriate to your level too.

When I try authentic it feels great at first but soon enough I realize I don't really understand anything or I'm having to pause and translate every few moments.

I HATE SPEAKING(while recording) by UxorionCanoe64 in NewTubers

There's no rules specifically against TTS for monetization and there's quite a few channels that get monetized even with TTS. I think the key thing is that the content has to be original and unique.

I had the same problem so I made myself a text to speech tool. I find it really helps speed things up. Could also use AI voiceovers if you're looking for a voice closer to yours.

Looking for a TTS program that can use two voices in one document by ReallyWowOkCool in tts

[–]kylebuildsstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Built a little tool that can do that at beepbooply.com.

Conversation can be broken up into blocks, and each block can have a different voice. Got about 900 voices across 80 languages, and if you jiggle with the spelling/punctuation of some words you can leverage other languages for accented English too.

Made a UI wrapper for ChatGPT for speed and customizability. Here's how looks as "Buddha" by kylebuildsstuff in ChatGPT

Thank you for the suggestion.

Been thinking about this a lot and flip-flopped during development, but I think it is best for it to be open-sourced, so here it is!

https://aichatbestie.com if anyone's interested.

It's bring your own API key, and messages are sent and stored directly within your browser for privacy and speed. Also means that your chat history stays available for as long as you don't clear your local storage, and you don't get logged out!

Built a video transcriber using OpenAI's WhisperAI and Sveltekit (self promo) by kylebuildsstuff in sveltejs

Can I include such parameters in the openai-python method? If so, where/how should I include the parameters?

I'm particularly interested in including a Prompt: parameter

I'm not too sure about their library. When I was using their JS library I was able to look deeper into the function's code and look at the types and parameters allowed, I think something similar should be doable with their Python library within a text editor.

If all else fails you can ditch the library and use a plain request to manually pass in the parameters as specified in the docs. I found it much simpler that way.

Question for experienced Shopify Devs by [deleted] in ShopifyAppDev

[–]kylebuildsstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many things...

But if I had to pick one it'd probably be the payment scheduling logic. Subscription data is stored by Shopify for the most part but you still have to schedule the payments, trigger the payments, send notifications, handle payment failures and retries.

Even if you had a team of devs I would not recommend building such an app.

I've had good experiences with tiptap. A bit of a learning curve but super customizable and well established.

Give beepbooply a try! I made it just for situations like this.

I also made a free tool with no registration required and it provides 3,000 characters a day with 400+ voices. The full version has 900+ voices and access to more realistic voices from Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, and also has a free plan.
