I'd like to have my laptop read out epubs or articles. Recommendations for speech synthesis (TTS) on the command line?
- ftreml 7y agopicotts is a command line tool. marytts is a client/server tool. (both included in botium speech processing and callable with curl). high quality with google cloud speech and amazon polly.
- dmos62 7y agopicotts looks cool, but it's not maintained (maybe it's perfect already?). nanotts is a fork of picotts with improvements to its cli interface, but it's not very maintained either (I was not able to compile it, due to it expecting Alsa; somehow -noalsa switch didn't help). I also discovered gtts (and the simpler google_speech), both available through pip. They're interfaces to google's apis, and have routines for handling large texts properly.
