- jszymborski 1y agoI've used Speech Note, which works well for STT and TTS.
- geor9e 1y agoI've tried a lot of them, and the best I found so far is Edge browsers built in microsoft (natural) voices, which I call via javascript or the browsers read aloud function.
- yoavm 1y agoCheckout https://github.com/rany2/edge-tts https://github.com/rany2/edge-tts , which exposes it as a Python library and a CLI tool.
- ompogUe 1y agoBeen having fun with this one https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/read-aloud/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/read-aloud/ Read Aloud allows you to select from a variety of text-to-speech voices, including those provided natively by the browser, as well as by text-to-speech cloud service providers such as Google Wavenet, Amazon Polly, IBM Watson, and Microsoft. Some of the cloud-based voices may require additional in-app purchase to enable. ... the shortcut keys ALT-P, ALT-O, ALT-Comma, and ALT-Period can be used to Play/Pause, Stop, Rewind, and Forward, respectively.
- derekja 1y agoI’ve been enjoying Kokoro Amazing what it can do with only 82M parameters https://www.kokorotts.io/ https://www.kokorotts.io/
- sipjca 1y agoCurious your use case, I now have quite a lot of experience with releasing desktop apps, and I have done some accessibility work as well, and may be curious to put together a TTS toolkit as well into a desktop app (or even Handy)
- dundarious 1y agopiper's amy voice is pleasant enough to me for reading articles, and it's instantaneous and trivial to use, just download the binary and model file.
- ranger_danger 1y agoWow, this is much faster and higher quality than the meloTTS program I was using before, and has many more voices available... although it doesn't appear to support Japanese. Thank you!
