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

I can't help but feel jealous and bitter when I come across a news article or whisper.sh message about how people found their true love. Some stories for example about a lady who was nearly murdered by her abusive ex and eventually married the paramedic that saved her life. Also a story about a man about to commit suicide only to receive a mysterious phone call from someone who would eventually become his wife. Source: about 2 years ago

Tbh, I'm surprised it took this long for the app to be taken down. It was 99% scammers. You can verify the app has been taken down by visiting their website and clicking get app. The play store doesn't take you to link to download it and if you search for "whisper," it doesn't show up at all. It use to be the first search result. Source: about 2 years ago

It's probably because these things were gotten from the Whisper app. Source: over 2 years ago

You do get a lot of scraper sites, but then you also get some weird ones. Someone used one of my drawings as a backdrop to a confession on whisper.sh. Pixsy found it. They also found a site that was offering free HD wallpaper downloads (no idea where they would have gotten an HD image file since I don't post those just anywhere) and they had one of my paintings on their site.

I don't know about a Whisper dating app but there's a whisper.sh website where people are anonymous and do confessions and venting and such. Careful, some of the stuff there is dirty. Source: almost 3 years ago
