Yes! I'm currently using https://espeak.sourceforge.net/, so it isn't especially fun to listen to though. Additionally, since I'm streaming the LLM response, it won't take long to get your reply. Since it does it a chunk at a time, there's occasionally only parts of words that are said momentarily. Also of course depends on what model you use or what the context size is for how long you need to wait. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

You might try espeak or - for something that looks more feature-rich - festival. Source: over 1 year ago

Hey! I’m mute too and I’ve been wanting to stream. So far I’ve decided on using eSpeak https://espeak.sourceforge.net/, a text-to-speech app for PC that allows commercial usage. You might also be able to find online text-to-speech that allows commercial usage, it just might take awhile to find. Depending on the time of content you make you could also dedicate part of your layout to a spot you could type in and... Source: over 1 year ago

Can someone point to a good open source alternative for vocaloid? I know of Sinsy [0] but I couldn't get it working. Ecantorix [1] is very old and rudimentary (it uses espeak underneath [2]). Searching just now I see OpenUtau [3] but I have no experience with it. Seems crazy there isn't a good FOSS solution for this.

The closest that I know of is espeak, https://espeak.sourceforge.net/ . It certainly doesn't cover all of the IPA though. Source: over 1 year ago

Hey! I see a couple of people have already replied. You're welcome to ask more questions whenever you want, but I just wanted to suggest two websites: Skell and Ludwig. If you ever need to see a word in real-life context, those two websites are the way to go. They're life changers and I hope you enjoy them too. Source: over 1 year ago

So ... I was just browsing the world wide web and I somehow stumbled upon this website ... https://ludwig.guru/ .... And things started clicking and it all made sense ... Source: almost 2 years ago

In english, I use ludwig.guru where I just type in any phrase and it searches a bunch of news databases for matching sentences. I was wondering in chinese is there anything that is similar. Source: almost 2 years ago

Https://ludwig.guru/ - use this to find out whether there's other people writing the way you are. If there are no available examples or they, well, kindly demand you pay a monthly premium subscription, you might want to switch things out and find yourself a sentence that gets a hit or two because chances are you're getting too obscure.

WordHippo is the best thesaurus out there, but I can’t stress this enough: don’t use words if you don’t know full well what they mean and in what situations they are commonly used. It is better to use simple language than to use confusing, out-of-place vocabulary to try to sound smart, which admissions officers can see through like a window pane. Ludwig is the best resource to tell if you are using an idiom, word,... Source: almost 2 years ago
