I've been using festival under Linux. https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/festival.1.html https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/festival.1.... But it is quite old now and pre-dates the DL/AI era. Does anybody know of a good modern replacement that I can "apt install"?

I used piper with a model I found online. It's _ALOT_ better than festival afaik. I'm not sure you can apt install it though. echo "hello" | piper --model ~/.local/share/piper/en_US-lessac-medium.onnx --output_file - | aplay

  You can in fact apt install piper.

    That's a different piper. piper - GTK application to configure gaming devices
