Can I post about my speech app here?
Only if the post is an in-depth technical discussion. The rule on “Focus” says not to use the group to promote your next whisper app, so a launch announcement or a simple app showcase will not survive.

Rule summary
- Focus: This group is for in-depth discussions on speech technology. You are welcome to discuss recent research and business news. Please do not use this group to promote your next whisper app.There is no need to mention speech providers in every post without giving numbers or algorithm details. No need to ask for generic recommendations without prior research. Thank you for understanding!
Works well
- A walkthrough of a speech recognition algorithm you built, with accuracy numbers and the tradeoffs you hit
- A summary of a new paper on speech synthesis with your own notes on what it means in practice
- A release note for a text-to-speech model that includes benchmark numbers against a baseline
- A question about speaker identification that shows the datasets and approaches you already tried
- A discussion of business news in speech technology with the actual figures behind it
- A comparison of two recognition approaches where you share latency or error rate measurements from your own testing
Avoid
- Promoting a simple whisper app, which the rule on “Focus” names directly as unwanted
- Mentioning a speech provider with no numbers or algorithm details attached
- Asking for generic tool recommendations without showing any prior research
- Posting a launch announcement with no technical content behind it
- Dropping a link with no analysis or discussion question around it
What r/speechtech Is For
This community is about speech technology news. People here follow new software, algorithms, papers and datasets in the field. The description covers speech recognition, speech synthesis, text-to-speech, voice biometrics, speaker identification and audio analysis. The rule on “Focus” says the group is for in-depth discussions, and that recent research and business news are welcome topics. So the room is made up of people who care about how speech systems actually work, not people shopping for apps.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
There is one published rule here and it does all the work. It is called “Focus” and it sets the bar for what counts as a valid post. It says the group is for in-depth discussions on speech technology, that recent research and business news are welcome, and that you should not use the group to promote your next whisper app. It also says there is no need to mention speech providers in every post without giving numbers or algorithm details, and no need to ask for generic recommendations without prior research. If your post has technical depth, it fits. If it is a promotion or a lazy question, it does not.
What To Post
A good post here leads with substance. If you built something in speech, show how it works, what algorithms you used, and what numbers you measured. If you are sharing research or business news, add your own analysis so the post is a discussion starter and not just a link. If you are asking for advice, show the research you already did, name the options you considered, and explain why you are still stuck. A founder with a speech product can do well here by posting a technical deep dive on their approach, with real numbers, and letting the product speak quietly in the comments when people ask.
What To Avoid
Do not post about a simple app you want people to try, because the rule on “Focus” says the group is not for promoting your next whisper app. Do not mention a speech provider in a post unless you bring numbers or algorithm details with it, because the same rule calls that pattern out directly. Do not ask for generic recommendations without doing prior research first, because the rule says the community does not want those questions. Anything shallow, promotional, or lazy gets removed here, so the fix is always the same: bring depth or do not post.

Common questions about r/speechtech
I want to mention my speech provider or my own product. What do I need to include?
Numbers or algorithm details. The rule is explicit that mentioning speech providers without giving numbers or algorithm details is not wanted here.
Can I ask the community which speech tool I should use?
Not as a bare question. The rule says there is no need to ask for generic recommendations without prior research, so show what you already looked into and what you tested before asking.
Is business news about speech companies okay to post?
Yes. The rule on “Focus” says you are welcome to discuss recent research and business news, as long as the post stays in-depth rather than promotional.
What topics does this community cover?
The description lists speech recognition, speech synthesis, text-to-speech, voice biometrics, speaker identification and audio analysis, plus the software, algorithms, papers and datasets behind them.
