Think of some stuff you may already self-host but it’d make it easier (and maybe keep your config simpler) to suggest to others if it had a desktop/mobile app version

Text to speech, speech to text, machine translation.
We have some of that available as local software. But they’re all limited or don’t offer the same quality as their big (and proprietary) counterparts.
For text to speech I’d recommend Kaldi. It’s just the android engine and has nothing else to configure/look at, but the quality of the output is really natural. FOSS, fully offline running locally.
Isn’t Kaldi speech recognition? So speech to text and not text to speech?
Speech Central is pretty good for the text to speech
Is this an offline self contained app?
I believe so, it seems to have the highest privacy designation on App Store and im pretty sure it turns all my epubs and pdfs into guided audio visual readings without internet necessary or available.
Well it uses Google services in android. Those can still communicate even if the app itself has no network permission. I guess for me the highest privacy designation would be to be FOSS, so people can verify it’s not doing anything funny on the back end.
