A snapshot of Human Sounds

Let’s get right into it today. Does that sound good?

Here are my latest insanely cool finds…

Human Sounds — Humanize your UX with sounds that your users can relate to. A UX sound library made completely by humans to make your applications more human.

Traxmachine — A nonprofit remake of the Habbo Hotel Traxmachine. Old Habbo Hotel players (or underground music enthusiasts) can go back to the best days of the 2000s when they came home from school and the only thing they cared about was logging into Habbo and having fun with the friends.

Hearling — Millions of page views on Sound of Text later, an upgraded version was made. Creates high quality audio from text and allows you to translate the audio to any language. You can even create 50 clips at once.

Spotify VSCode Extension — Use Spotify inside VSCode (integrates with Spotify Desktop). You can use it offline, play, pause, skip, change the volume, even toggle lyrics, and more all without leaving your code editor.

Sounds of Earth — Hear sounds from around the planet and set your ambience. The project aims to raise awareness for the protection and restoration of our ecosystems by reminding people of the uniqueness and natural beauties of this planet.

Letterly — Turn your speech into well-written text. It’s not just transcription because we don’t speak like we write. Co-created with linguists to genuinely simplify your life. Just want to create quick notes and summaries with your voice instead? Bonus tool: Speech to Note.

Sound Control — Per app audio control for Mac. Searchable headphone calibrations, hot keys, MIDI, priority device control, and more.
