ZETIC has released a curated catalog of open-source on-device AI apps that run entirely on the phone's NPU with no cloud dependency, eliminating compliance costs and per-token fees. The collection inc…
MarkTechPost published a tutorial on building a VideoAgent-style multi-agent system for video editing tasks, including intent parsing, graph planning, and tool routing. The system integrates FFmpeg, W…
Apple's new SpeechAnalyzer engine, introduced with iOS 26 and macOS 26, beats OpenAI's Whisper Small on clean English read speech with a 2.12% word error rate on LibriSpeech test-clean versus Whisper …
Developer Martin Piaggi released Summarize, an open-source tool that converts videos from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and other sources into structured notes using AI transcription and LLM summarizati…
A developer built a voice assistant named 'Jarvis' that controls 45 AI tools on a Mac, including content generation, research, email drafting, focus mode, code review, and file search. The system uses…
Martin Piaggi built Summarize, an open-source tool that converts videos from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Reddit, Facebook, and local files into structured notes using a pipeline of transcription (Y…
OpenAI launched GPT-Live-1 on July 8, a full-duplex voice model that listens and speaks simultaneously, using a two-layer architecture with a continuous interaction layer and a delegation layer that h…
OpenAI's Whisper model processes audio by converting it into log-Mel spectrograms, which are then fed into an encoder-decoder transformer architecture. The model operates on 30-second audio chunks and…
The open-source claude-video tool uses client-side orchestration with yt-dlp, ffmpeg, and Whisper to make multimodal video analysis practical for LLMs by optimizing frame extraction and token usage. I…
Researchers are using text-to-speech systems to create synthetic training data for spoken question answering in Luxembourgish, a low-resource language. By translating existing QA resources and synthes…
A developer building AudioTrace, an audio analysis library, solved speaker diarization without a gated model by measuring voice pitch instead of using a neural network. The pitch-based approach works …
Researchers introduced SAMPA, a Whisper-based model for prosodic segmentation in Brazilian Portuguese, achieving F1 scores of 0.731 on held-out test data and 0.796 on the MuPe-Diversidades dataset. Th…
Researchers found that best-of-N text-to-speech evaluation is confounded by alignment between ASR verifier and evaluator families, with same-family pairs recovering 2-3× more oracle headroom than cros…
Researchers developed SAMPA, a Whisper-based segmenter that transcribes Brazilian Portuguese speech while inserting markers for terminal prosodic boundaries. Fine-tuned on the NURC-SP dataset, SAMPA a…
Ghostmeet, a self-hosted meeting transcription and summarization tool, captures audio from a browser tab, transcribes it locally with Whisper, and summarizes it with Claude on demand, ensuring audio n…
NVIDIA released Audex (Nemotron-Labs-Audex-30B-A3B), a unified audio-text large language model that processes both audio and speech while preserving the text intelligence of its backbone. The model us…
Kokoro, an 82M-parameter text-to-speech model, now delivers high-quality, realistic speech generation locally on CPU, preserving privacy. The model supports multiple languages and 50 voices, and can b…
A developer added voice capabilities to the Jarvis AI Platform by integrating Whisper for speech transcription and native OS text-to-speech engines. The voice pipeline wraps the existing chat pipeline…
A developer evaluated real-time voice AI stacks for underserved languages, comparing latency and accuracy of various speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and translation models. The analysis found that a c…
