  • Show HN: Pi-C.A.R.D, a Raspberry Pi Voice Assistant
    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
  • Does anyone know any good TTS program for linux? I'm hoping for something free. There's a good option on windows, but I tried messing with wine to use it on linux and it wasn't working for me.
    You might try espeak or - for something that looks more feature-rich - festival. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I don't know if I'll be able to stream because of my mutism :((
    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
  • Vocaloid 6
    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.

  • Is there a website that reads the custom phonetically written words?
    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
