Show HN: A free online British accent generator for instant voice conversion
2026-02-12 @ 09:25:17Points: 22Comments: 40
I've developed a simple AI-powered British accent generator. Enter or paste your text, select the voice that best fits your project's tone, and generate speech for free. It supports up to 500 characters and offers 8 distinct, lifelike voices. Everything runs entirely within your browser. I'm primarily seeking feedback on output quality, user experience, and any technical improvements worth exploring.

Hologram v0.7.0: Milestone release for Elixir-to-JavaScript porting initiative
2026-02-11 @ 23:54:59Points: 73Comments: 17
This release is a milestone for our porting initiative. 49 contributors ported 150 Erlang functions across 19 modules, pushing client-side Erlang runtime coverage from 34% to 96% and overall Elixir standard library readiness from 74% to 87%.
This means the vast majority of Elixir standard library functions needed for full-stack web and basic local-first apps now work in the browser - string processing, collections, sets, binary operations, Unicode normalization, math, time operations, file path handling, and more.
Beyond porting, the release includes enhancements, bug fixes, and infrastructure groundwork.
Happy to answer any questions!
