I created Larynx (https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx) to address shortcomings I saw in Linux speech synthesis: * Licensing (MIT) * Quality (judge for yourself: https://rhasspy.github.io/larynx/ https://rhasspy.github.io/larynx/) * Speed (faster than real-time on amd64/aarch64) * Voices/language support (9 languages, 50 voices) I'm working now on integrating Larynx with speech-dispatcher/Orca. The next version of Larynx will also support a subset of SSML :)

Can it run on a raspberry pi?
- synesthesiam 5y ago
  Yes! There's a Docker image and Debian package for both 32-bit and 64-bit ARM. The 64-bit version is significantly faster (especially with low quality set).

    That's fantastic, someone ought to integrate this with Mycroft, stat.

Some of those sound really good. I was going to comment that you didn't have any en_gb listed, but it seems there's a bunch under en_us :) Some rather good brit'ish accents in there me old mate!
- synesthesiam 5y ago
  Thanks! They seemed to work fine with en_us phonemes, so I haven't created a separate en_gb set yet. Maybe someday :)

    cmu_jmk (glow_tts) under en_us seems to be quite nice

      I like "ek", but I'm not a native speaker, so my preference for British English voice might not be the same as for anglophones.

Thought I'd give this a go, but getting lots errors along the lines of 'Expected shape from model of {...} does not match actual shape of {...} for output audio. Tried the debian and python methods of installation on an AMD Ryzen X13. EDIT: despite those errors I can create output.wav. However, interactive mode crashes with "No such file or directory: 'play'".

  The shape warnings don't seem to matter (something to do with the onnx runtime). Interactive mode needs sox installed or for you to specify a --play-command

Sweet, I've been hoping for good Linux TTS!

It's super awesome. Just wondering if it can simultaneously use play-command to play sample and in the same time render the next to eliminate pauses? Also wondering if it can work through spd-say (speech dispatcher). I will probably be able to figure out both just checking in case if there are ready solutions.

  Thanks! Try the --raw-stream option for listening to long texts: https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx#long-texts https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx#long-texts For speech-dispatcher, I'd start a Larynx HTTP server and use curl to get audio. I have an undocumented --daemon flag that does something like this.

    Thank you! Streaming output to aplay works pretty well for me.
