A way to comunicate with your loved ones, or others, when you're not fully capable to physically verbalize it.
I had a minor anxiety attack in which I couldn't ask for help without breaking, that same morning I saw a post about the browser's native speech API.
- Javascript, it's a native abstraction of the already existant API the browsers provide
- Speech API, a native implementation, probably an expert system, or, in other words, a non-cognitive implementation of TTS (Text To Speech).
You can quickly checkout the compatibility chart at:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SpeechSynthesisUtterance
Currently, as of the time writting this, it's NOT supported at:
- Internet Explorer, (who uses it?! some people still, to who I apologize in advance for the inconvenience).
- Opera Android.
- Webview Android.
It is manually deployed to a website via FTP. It's fully client-side, which means, any static server would and should do.
As to better automate it, I'm currently using sFTP VSCode plugin, link here. So that each save automatically deploys my "application".
To my mom, who helped me calmed down after, and during, the attack, and the main reason I wanted to create the app, as to comunicate it way easier.
To my friend that talked a bit of sense into me as to not put more pressure on myself and actually chill out.
