Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Orca Streaming Text-to-Speech Demos

Made in Vancouver, Canada by Picovoice

Orca

Orca is an on-device streaming text-to-speech engine that is designed for use with LLMs, enabling zero-latency voice assistants. Orca is:

  • Private; All speech synthesis runs locally.
  • Cross-Platform:
    • Linux (x86_64), macOS (x86_64, arm64), Windows (x86_64)
    • Android and iOS
    • Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge
    • Raspberry Pi (3, 4, 5)

Compatibility

  • Node.js 16+
  • Runs on Linux (x86_64), macOS (x86_64, arm64), Windows (x86_64), and Raspberry Pi (3, 4, 5).

Installation

npm install -g @picovoice/orca-node-demo

AccessKey

Orca requires a valid Picovoice AccessKey at initialization. AccessKey acts as your credentials when using Orca SDKs. You can get your AccessKey for free. Make sure to keep your AccessKey secret. Signup or Login to Picovoice Console to get your AccessKey.

Usage

Orca supports two modes of operation: streaming and single synthesis.

In the streaming synthesis mode, Orca processes an incoming text stream in real-time and generates audio in parallel. This is demonstrated in the Orca streaming demo.

In the single synthesis mode, the text is synthesized in a single call to the Orca engine.

Streaming synthesis demo

In this demo, we simulate a response from a language model by creating a text stream from a user-defined text. We stream that text to Orca and play the synthesized audio as soon as it gets generated.

@picovoice/pvspeaker-node is used to play pcm audio generated by Orca to your device's speakers.

Execute the following:

orca-streaming-demo --access_key ${ACCESS_KEY} --text_to_stream ${TEXT}

Replace ${ACCESS_KEY} with your AccessKey obtained from Picovoice Console and ${TEXT} with your text to be streamed to Orca.

Single synthesis demo

To synthesize speech in a single call to Orca and without audio playback, run the following:

orca-file-demo --access_key ${ACCESS_KEY} --text ${TEXT} --output_path ${WAV_OUTPUT_PATH}

Replace ${ACCESS_KEY} with yours obtained from Picovoice Console, ${TEXT} with your text to be synthesized, and ${WAV_OUTPUT_PATH} with a path to a .wav file where the generated audio will be stored as a single-channel, 16-bit PCM .wav file.
