Hello. This is my #Introduction.
I have been working with Web technologies since 1992. I have co-founded two browser companies, Opera Software and Vivaldi Technologies. I was CEO at Opera and I am CEO at Vivaldi.
I am a strong proponent of open standards. I believe in building feature rich products that can be adapted to the needs of users without collecting information about usage. I believe no company has the right to profile their users.

Standard open minus the UI of your product. Vivaldi's corporate image defense is not convincing especially when the competition copies your features and improves them.
I invite you to really make all your software opensource, I hope that will happen someday.

@jon Hi Jon, nice to meet you. I am an English-Polish translator, have been working in the field for 30 years, 2/3 of it using CAT (Computer Aided Translation) software. I respect your approach to open standards, Vivaldi has been my browser of choice for quite a long time, it quickly replaced Firefox which I long considered untouchable and indispensable. Hope you'll be able to bear the open standards flag for many years to come.

@sajalghosh , thank you for your kind words. What do you mean by TTS?
Föderation EN Do 14.11.2024 19:36:21
@jon @sajalghosh Common usage is "Text to speech", with STT being "Speech to text" and so on.

Hi @jon
Sorry for not clarifying. I love the "Read Aloud" feature of MS Edge. The voice sounds more natural than any other free "Text to Speech" engines. I particularly love this feature because as a non-native English speaker, it helps me read faster and make me feel more comfortable. Reading newspapers, long articles / blogs is much more comfortable with this feature. In addition, combined with and ePub add on, I also read ebooks with MS Edge.
