[ad_1] Project GutenbergAudiobooks are a great way to enjoy your favorite books when you’re driving, resting, or just don’t feel like reading. You’ll find plenty of audiobooks online and through other sources. But many of the books read by human beings require a one-time fee or even a subscription. And the free audiobooks are often read in a computerized voice that isn’t exactly pleasing to the ear.To overcome these audiobook obstacles, Project Gutenberg and Microsoft have created thousands of free audiobooks that use neural text-to-speech technology to generate the voices.Also: The best reading tabletsThe neural TTS feature uses AI to…

[ad_1] The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has offered a slim olive branch to one U.S. senator and the many rights groups critical of the agency’s use of commercial and seized smartphone data. According to the office of Sen. Ron Wyden, the CBP said it will stop “utilizing Commercial Telemetry Data (CTD)”—AKA users’ location data—by the end of September. Or it will so long as it doesn’t see a “critical mission” that would necessitate buying up commercial data.The GoPro Hero 12 Goes Vertical: Hands On With GoPro’s Latest Action CamThe CBP is just one of many federal agencies (especially law…
[ad_1] Native Instruments’ Kontrol S series MIDI keyboards are a favorite among producers and musicians for their solid build and tight integration with the company’s instruments like Kontakt and Massive X. This year the controllers are getting a pretty significant upgrade that pushes the hardware to new heights and tightens the integration with the company’s flagship software.Physically there are few immediately obvious differences on the Kontrol S MK3. For one the stark matte black aesthetic has been toned down a bit. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a mostly black affair, but there are some additional lights and colored labels…
[ad_1] Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNETApart from a worn battery and broken display, a common reason people upgrade an iPhone is that there is no more storage space. And, more often than not, what’s behind all that storage consumption will be photos.But just mass-deleting photos is a bad road to go down because you’re invariably going to lose sentimental photos and either be sad or get into trouble. On the flip side, sorting through photos can be a huge waste of time (although there is some excellent software that can help you sort the wheat from the chaff). Also: What to expect from Apple’s…
[ad_1] A new decadal survey from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine just dropped, and establishing a sustained human presence off-Earth is on the docket. But NASA’s Division of Biological and Physical Sciences (BPS) is underfunded, the survey reports, which could jeopardize humankind’s ability to actually establish such a presence.The GoPro Hero 12 Goes Vertical: Hands On With GoPro’s Latest Action CamThe 351-page document follows the National Academies’ release of astronomical and astrophysical goals for the next decade, published in 2021, and the 2022 publication of decadal goals in planetary defense and science.

[ad_1] In a world of generic electric bikes, the JackRabbit is hard to ignore. The micro, pedal-free ride blends the convenience of a scooter with the sitdown comfort of a bicycle. We loved the original, but there was plenty of room for improvement. That room has been dramatically reduced with the unveiling of the JackRabbit XG — a newer, more powerful and slightly (just slightly) bigger version available starting today.The XG initially looks very similar to the “OG” (as it has since been dubbed) that came before it. What you will notice is that it sports a more conventional diamond-style…

[ad_1] Fujifilm has taken the wraps off the GFX100 II medium format camera, a successor to the original GFX100 launched back in 2019. It carries the same 102-megapixel resolution of the original model, but has a new sensor and processor that delivers faster shooting speeds, improved autofocus, full-sensor 4K (and even 8K) video and a lot more. At the same time, it’s more like the GFX100S in terms of size and price.Where the GFX100 was gigantic in size due to the built-in battery grip, the GFX100 II has separated those two things, so the camera body alone is considerably smaller…
