Woof Speaks Without Wi-Fi

The real news

The story, straight

Text-to-speech turns written words into a spoken voice. Instead of sending those words to a remote computer, a local model makes the sound on your device.

TechCrunch reports that Underdog released Woof, with a download of about 32 MB. The company says it can run in a browser without an internet connection.

Its retro game lets you type on a typewriter and hear your words spoken back.

Lil'meme pulls the internet cable, expecting peace. The typewriter keeps talking.

We have finally given office equipment the ability to ignore a hint.

Small download does not mean tiny working memory. Underdog's model card lists about 852 MB peak memory on 1 CPU thread for the browser's single-voice version.

Its own comparison also puts that version slightly behind the larger model it compares against on word errors. This is not proof that tiny models beat everything.

The useful possibility is offline speech for local assistants without sending typed words to a remote service. TechCrunch cautions that Woof likely will not replace bigger models.

Published weights also do not mean unrestricted commercial use: commercial use requires a licence.
