Coming up on Mosen at Large 215, the astounding AI voice technology from Eleven Labs, more on the Victor Reader Stream, and what PC speakers would you recommend?

Kia ora Mosen at Largers. Here’s what’s coming up in our next two-hour show that’s got the blind community talking.

The voice AI technology from Eleven Labs has taken the blind community on Mastodon by storm. You can use their own voices, or using audio samples, create your own AI voices that, sometimes, sound remarkably like the real thing. So what can this technology do now, where is it going, and what about the ethical minefield that technology like this creates? I’ll discuss all these issues with Mati Staniszewski who is one of Eleven Labs’ co-founders.

There’s more discussion on the Victor Reader Stream including more on how to make sure Audible books work with it.

Crank us up. Crank us up loud! Because a listener is in the market for good PC speakers. There are plenty of really groovy, grunty options out there. What would you recommend?

There’s plenty more on the show as well. If you want to raise something new, you’re very welcome. Please don’t be shy, I’d love to hear from you. What makes Mosen At Large special is the global community we’ve built and all the perspectives we share with each other.
