But not gonna lie, some of it does come down to underlying voice dysphoria, because this is the best we've managed to get since December 2021. And just for anyone who hasn't heard roughly what we sounded like beforehand, we haven't exactly moved our voice up a lot. I mean, the base level would just be down here. So I can move my voice back up here easily now, and this is the comfortable, this is the default voice. But, um... It's not where I want it to be, it's not in the female range, and I can't easily push the pitch up higher without it sounding wrong. But yeah, there's been a lot of stuff going on recently, um, a lot of bad stuff for everyone, don't want to talk about all of that. But, um, let's just focus on supporting each other, helping each other, um, being kind to ourselves and others right now, and being compassionate and empathetic. That's all I've really got to say. I'm trying to do the same thing with ourselves, but yeah, it's hard sometimes. Anyway, ta-ta for now.</p></blockquote>

Jürgen Hubert<p>After recently voicing my frustration with how much effort it is for me to type in <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> while mobile and away from my desktop PC, I am wondering whether using <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/SpeechRecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpeechRecognition</span></a> with a <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Bluetooth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bluetooth</span></a> headset might be a viable solution.</p><p>But I don't have much experience with either. Thus:</p><p>What kind of _lightweight_ Bluetooth headset could you recommend which would easily fit into the pocket of my jacket and the like (I like to travel lightly when doing bicycle trips)?</p><p>And what kind of speech-to-text app would work well when entering Alt-Text into my Mastodon app (currently using Tusky, but I am willing to change if that's what it takes)? Ideally it should support both English and German.</p>
