@raviyeejoshi Hi. I think this is possible, as long as the text can be copied. It can be implemented with these steps:
1. User selects text and activates (new) global keyboard shortcut "read selected".
2. SN saves the current state of the clipboard.
3. SN simulates pressing the "Ctrl+C" keys, placing the selected text in the clipboard.
4. SN uses TTS to read out the text from the clipboard.
5. SN restores the original contents of the clipboard.
Good feature for Speech Note 4.9 :)
Why I don't use AI
Jolla Phone matters more than ever.
Every Android phone, every iPhone; your data, habits, convos: processed, analyzed, stored on someone else's terms.
Jolla spent 12 years in wilderness keeping Sailfish OS alive through die-hard community.
Next to them mobile OS graveyard filled up with names like Symbian, MeeGo, Firefox OS, Windows Phone - Jolla survived.
• Physical privacy switch (kill cam/mic)
• Replaceable battery
• Android app compatibility (practical)

#Google trips over its own words, when they sell you #Android it's the best computing device in the world that does everything. After you bought it Google doesn't let you do anything *you* want to.
#Sideload is a made-up term. Putting software on your computer is simply called “installing”, regardless of whether that computer is in your pocket or on your desk.
What Do You Talk About When You Talk About Sideloading?

🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud:
“We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”
@paladini Hello Fernando. I am truly flattered :) You can always contact me here on mastodon or send me an email. If you have any specific questions/ideas/requests related to Speech Note, I encourage you to open an "issue" on Github/Github.
#SpeechNote has just reached 1K stars on GitHub. I know that doesn't mean anything, but this is a good opportunity to sum something up.
Right now you can install it via Flathub, Arch Linux AUR, OpenSUSE Pacman repo and OpenRepos if you use Sailfish OS. According to Flathub stats only, Speech Note is downloaded 300 times per day. The last update was installed on about 20K computers! This is much more than I could have ever foreseen. This is amazing and very rewarding. Thank you, dear users!

Omg I would have quit so fast, if I hadn't already left before receiving that email.
This reminds me of the Ballmer years and some of the things he mandated.
AI, at best, is an assistive tool. Certainly nowhere near necessary. God, what an embarrassment MS has become.
@sophiajt the obligation to use the AI assistant tool is not just a microsoft thing. The company where I work has the same policy. I can't understand why senior managers force me to use a tool that slows me down, makes me dumber and generally less productive. They keep saying "without it you'll fall behind", but they have no idea what a programmer's job is. They truly believe their "wet dream" that in a future they can make a profit without any labor costs is true. A surreal situation.
For the all people using #Nextcloud just for #caldav and #cardav have a look at opensource #baikal https://github.com/sabre-io/Baikal It's tiny, easy to setup and works great with #davx and #thunderbird
If you speak Swedish and are looking for fast, accurate and offline Speech-to-text, check out KBLab's fine-tuned Whisper models. These models were trained using the resources of the National Library of Sweden. Even the "Tiny" model is much more accurate than the original Whisper model.
More about this cool project: https://kb-labb.github.io/posts/2025-03-07-welcome-KB-Whisper/index.html
You can play with the KBLab models in the latest version of #SpeechNote app.
