As an undergrad at Stanford, CS229 with @AndrewYNg sparked my interest in ML. My course project was fine-tuning Tacotron2, and here's real midterm TA feedback from @vin_sachi. My team's new model at @SpeechifyAI just hit SOTA, five years later. It's pretty surreal looking back.

@filip_animation So smooth. Great job

[Stefan Cirkovic @stefan_motion]

Looking forward to this one.

I've had a chance to work with Marko recently – since then I've become a huuge fan of his work.

[Marko @ivanovic_marco]

I’m writing a short and practical handbook for folks starting in design.

Book is based on mentoring a few designers who went from zero experience to real client work in 2-3 months — not by grinding tools, but by changing how they approached learning.

The book is almost done.

Before I wrap it up, I’d love to hear from you:
👉 What do you wish someone had explained to you when you were starting out?

What felt confusing, invisible, or unnecessarily hard?

Reply with questions or topics you wish someone had sent you early on. Grateful! ❤️

[Stefan Cirkovic @stefan_motion]

🖐️I can chime in on this one as well. My skill as a motion designer grew tremendously while working with @Stojakovic57.

The biggest realization for me was that it's all achievable. You just need to break it down to simple instances and come ready to 'play defense' in bb terms.

@jesse_vermeulen So smooth 🤌🏼

[Sukhada @appadappajappa]

This is what happens when someone genuinely loves their work.

[Stefan Cirkovic @stefan_motion]

Been using @SpeechifyAI for a while and they’re killing it.

Wild that I can summarize a boring finance article through a questionnaire and do the whole thing as a conversation with their voice assistant.

Also pretty cool that I got to create promo material for them. ⬇️

Repost or comment “Speechify” to get Voice Typing for free for 3 months

@SpeechifyAI has over 1 million five star reviews across platforms, and dozens of high quality features: Today, we are launching a feature I've been pushing for over 7 years and is finally going live to production (I've been using it internally for more than 4 years) Speechify Voice Typing in our Chrome Extension!

You can download the Speechify Chrome Extension, start talking casually, and let Speechify type for you across Google Docs, Gmail, and anywhere else you write. No matter how fast you type you can get a 2-4x lift in typing speed this way just click the button or keyboard shortcut.

It also polishes your writing for you.

We’re also launching the ability to Talk to Speechify super fast about any website!

Speechify is like your own personal assistant who has already read everything you see and can answer your questions as you talk.

You can ask Speechify for advice on how to respond to emails for work, to quiz you on a school reading, and to summarize key takeaways from an article without having to read the whole thing.

Over the last year, Speechify has evolved into your go-to Voice AI Assistant.

As an applied Al research lab that's the largest consumer Voice Al company in the Apple, Google Chrome, and Android App Stores, we’ve doubled down on more ways to be useful to our users.

Speechify now reads anything out loud to you, creates hyper-personalized podcasts perfectly tailored to you based on your prompts, docs, or recommendations, and now it can also type for you and answer your questions.

ChatGPT and Gemini are great. But we know that our users, and a large segment of the population, want Voice AI to be front-and-center in their user experience – not hidden behind an extra tab or an afterthought.

Speechify is building the voice operating system to meet their needs.

Voice typing & our Voice AI Assistant will soon be available on iOS/Android, our Mac App, Windows, and more.

We’ll also soon be adding additional Voice AI agentic workflows. Our vision is for Speechify to make a doctor's appointment and then follow up if they don't pick up for you or call a store and ask if they have a certain item in stock.

There are so many people working on Voice AI for customer support right now – Speechify is empowering everyone in the world to have their own Voice AI assistant on the other end who works for you.

❤️

As businesses scale, so do their payables, making AP a tedious, complex process 💳

What if it didn't have to be?

Today, we're declaring an end to legacy AP with the Rho platform's new One-Click AP.

Let's dive into the details 🧵
