Tartu Ülikooli keeletehnoloogide arendatud eestikeelne kõnesüntees. Valida saab 10 erineva kõneleja vahel ning kõne kiirust on võimalik reguleerida. Meie hääli saab kasutada ka tekstelemendi lugejana, valides seadetes neist ühe vaikimisi eestikeelseks hääleks. Süntesaatoriks on kasutatud tehisnärvivõrkudel põhinevat mudelit, mis on treenitud eestikeelsetel uudiste ja ilukirjanduse korpustel. Meie kõnesüntees on saadaval ka veebilehel neurokone.ee --- Estonian text-to-speech synthesis developed by the NLP research group at the University of Tartu. There are 10 speakers to choose from and the speech tempo can be adjusted. Any voice can also be used in Speak Selection when set as the default Estonian voice on the device. Our engine is based on a neural network trained on Estonian news and literature corpora. Our text-to-speech service is also available at neurokone.ee

Sidekey turns your iPhone into a customizable wireless keyboard and shortcut pad for your own computer. Tap keys on your phone and they type on your Mac or Windows PC over your local Wi‑Fi — no extra hardware, no cables. Design the keyboard you actually want: add keys, build shortcuts (including combos like Cmd/Ctrl, and left/right modifiers), arrange them on a grid, and switch between layers and modes. Keep your most-used shortcuts one tap away. HOW IT WORKS Sidekey works together with a small, free desktop helper you run on the computer you want to control. Put both devices on the same Wi‑Fi, scan a QR code once to pair, and you're connected. Pairing is secured with a token, and your keystrokes travel directly to your own computer — never through us. FEATURES • Custom key designer — make your own keys, shortcuts, and layouts • Shortcuts & combos — Cmd/Ctrl/Alt/Shift, function keys, media keys, and left/right‑specific modifiers • Multiple layers & modes — flip between a full keyboard, a shortcut deck, a trackpad, and more • Trackpad mode — use your phone as a touchpad with left/right buttons • Voice typing — dictate with the system keyboard and send the text to your computer • Quick pairing — scan a QR code; reconnects automatically afterward • Works with Mac and Windows • Private by design — no account, no tracking, nothing sent to the developer REQUIRES THE FREE DESKTOP HELPER Sidekey needs the free Sidekey helper running on your Mac or Windows computer. Download it from the link on our support page. Questions or ideas? We'd love to hear from you.
