Hi HN / YC

I just shipped Speechable — a free, open-source AI text-to-speech solution for WordPress that runs entirely in the browser with no API keys, no paid services, and no server infrastructure.

I wrote a full write-up here: https://tanishmittal.com/speechable-ai-text-to-speech-for-wo...

What it does

Adds a native audio player to WordPress posts

Uses browser-based neural TTS

Supports 12+ languages

Offers multiple voice presets & effects

Lets visitors download audio

Highlights words in sync with narration

Why I built it

Most TTS plugins depend on expensive APIs, external servers, and data sharing. I wanted:

Privacy-first experiences

No recurring costs

High-quality voice output

Easy install for any WordPress site

Try it

Repo & docs: https://github.com/tansihmittal/speechable

Would love feedback — especially on:

UX pain points

Performance in real blogs

Edge cases you think it should support

If you try it or build something cool with it, shoutout on X: @glowdopera

Thanks!

Hi HN,

I built a small browser-based tool that generates video captions/subtitles directly in the browser.

Most caption tools I tried were either paid per export, limited usage, or required signing up. I wanted something I could use quickly without friction.

What it does:

Auto-generates captions from video

Unlimited exports

No login or account

Runs in the browser

Free to use

It’s part of a broader creative toolkit, but this post is specifically about the caption generator.

I’d appreciate feedback on:

Accuracy vs existing caption tools

Performance on longer videos

Features that would make this actually useful for your workflow

Happy to answer questions.

Hi, I am trying everything possible to create a genuine connection, but I'm unable to. I post on social media, Reddit, message on YC, and more. But still not able to make. Like Most of the people never respond. What should I do? I am making my startup in finance, so I need connections in order to do things further.

Thank You.

I mailed journalist about my MVP, most of the email never reached if some reached then they are asking money to write about it. What should I do? It is related to fintech so I need to gain people's trust.

Hi, I have created a site named Tsarr.in which is an online screenshot editor site. The users really like my site, so I was thinking of monetizing it somehow. I don't want to put a subscription because lowkey I know it is not that high tech to put behind bars. Also, I want to make it free for indie devs and others.
