recite is public now
Recite is public now.
This is my second public GitHub repo, and I am pretty proud of it.
It is not a perfect app.
But it is real.
And I actually use it.
Recite is a small Mac menu bar app that reads selected text out loud. Select text, hit the hotkey, and it talks back to you using local text-to-speech.
No cloud voice API.
No subscription meter.
No sending the text somewhere else first.
Over the last week, I did a lot of the boring work that makes a side project feel more public:
- cleaned up the repo
- buffered playback
- voice previews
- real code signing
- release packaging
- better docs
- a public release
None of that is flashy.
But it matters.
It moved Recite from “cool thing on my machine” to “a thing someone else can see, build, and try.”
That is the line I care about.
Transcripted helps my computer listen.
Recite helps it speak.
That feels like a real little step.
Anyway, I am happy this exists now.
Let me know what you think.
