It sounds really good, but from what I've heard nothing really comes close to the performance of https://15.ai/ https://15.ai/. It still seems like the best TTS

  Holy cow, that’s impressive. Also, from The FAQ: > Who/what is behind this project? > > I've had a couple people and institutions provide a bit of help along the way, but I am — and always have been — one person. Never underestimate the intellect of a single person. Every corporate team, every open source maintainer, every researcher more or less* has access to the same prior knowledge to build something new. * some have more money to burn, some are surrounded by mentors/helpers

  To me NATSpeech sounds better. This sounds worse than Amazon Alexa at least with my quick test.

  This one never sounds fantastic to me, just "very good". It does have a very cool feature where you can input a phrase with one "feeling" to change the main text to have that "feeling" as well. It is a bit confusing to use. I actually think Microsoft's TTS is the best and has many voices. IBM's Watson branded voice was a close second. But as near as I can tell, there's no way to run these locally, only through their cloud interface. I'd say this portaspeech one was the best local I've heard but it annoyingly trips on words like "shouldn't".

  Don't know about the quality but the welcome banner is a real assholey move. Not everyone is out there to steal someone's work. Btw, try rejecting it for fun and going back to the same website.
