Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: On-Device Text to Speech
Hey HN, has anyone found a viable solution for doing this locally and offline on iOS? I'd like to offer a privacy-friendly text to speech feature to my App, and Apple's speech synthesis sounds awful compared to some newer models and TTS engines. The only thing I've found is an older TensorflowTTS example here: https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowTTS/tree/master/examples/ios
Any pointers or tips appreciated.

NaturalSpeech: End-to-End Text to Speech Synthesis with Human-Level Quality
I had a lot of success using [FastSpeech2 + MB MelGAN via TensorFlowTTS](https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowTTS). There are demos for [iOS](https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowTTS/tree/master/ex...) and [Android](https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowTTS/tree/master/ex...) which will allow you to run pretty convincing, modern TTS models with only a few hundred milliseconds of processing latency.

TTS mobile help
I need an example of how I would go about it. I've combed through examples but it's just not clicking for me.

A Working TTS feature has been found (No Google Services Required)
https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowTTS was the project. It was pretty much a direct compile and run. I went through and added the required features to enable it as TTS service for Android. I also moved the Tensorflow portion into a separate thread from the TTS service directly, since Android restricts it's TTS service to a single thread, and the Tensorflow service uses five threads to run at a good speed. It's a much much heavier solution than a C/C++ compiled library, but it works out of the box and I will worry about optimizations later

Free library for text-to-speech
You need to try, it implements most advanced algorithms and not as ad-hoc as nvidia https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowTTS

Is Sampling Dictionary Text To Speech Allowed?
I think using something like openTTS might be safer. Though I'm pretty sure no one will ever find out you used their online tts.

Home Assistant’s Year of the Voice – Chapter 2
The most exciting thing about Home Assistant's "Year of the Voice", for me, is that it is apparently enabling/supporting @synesthesiam's continued phenomenal contributions to the FLOSS off-line voice synthesis space.
The quality, variety & diversity of voices that synesthesiam's "Larynx" TTS project (https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx/) made available, completely transformed the Free/Open Source Text To Speech landscape.
In addition "OpenTTS" (https://github.com/synesthesiam/opentts) provided a common API for interacting with multiple FLOSS TTS projects which showed great promise for actually enabling "standing on the shoulders of" rather than re-inventing the same basic functionality every time.
The new "Piper" TTS project mentioned in the article is the apparent successor to Larynx and, along with the accompanying LibriTTS/LibriVox-based voice models, brings to FLOSS TTS something it's never had before:
* Too many voices! :)
Seriously, the current LibriTTS voice model version has 900+ voices (of varying quality levels), how do you even navigate that many?![0]
And that's not even considering the even higher quality single speaker models based on other audio recording sources.
Offline TTS while immensely valuable for individuals, doesn't seem to be attractive domain for most commercial entities due to lack of lock-in/telemetry opportunities so I was concerned that we might end up missing out on further valuable contributions from synesthesiam's specialised skills & experience due to financial realities & the human need for food. :)
I'm glad we instead get to see what happens next.

Free text-to-speech software (or low budget)
Yes, if you scroll down on the github page you can read the extensive README.md file on its setup.

Use OpenTTS for Android
I was wondering if there was a way to use a private OpenTTS server for the Android Text-To-Speech engine.

Ask HN: Are there any good open source Text-to-Speech tools?
If your use case allows for a web API, I've had good experience running OpenTTS[0].
It packages several models, including Coqui AI's TTS which I tend to use the most. There's a handy Docker image, too.

gosling: natural sounding text-to-speech in the terminal
https://github.com/synesthesiam/opentts is run through Docker, which is pretty simple, and provides a GUI in the browser. There is a good selection of voice engines and voices, and the local Web server has API endpoints. I've been using this on Linux Mint lately.

NaturalSpeech: End-to-End Text to Speech Synthesis with Human-Level Quality
If you've not already encountered them I'd definitely encourage you to check out these Free/Open Source projects too:
* Larynx: https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx/
* OpenTTS: https://github.com/synesthesiam/opentts
* Likely Mimic3 in the near future: https://mycroft.ai/blog/mimic-3-preview/
Larynx in particular has a focus on "faster than real-time" while OpenTTS is an attempt to package & provide common REST API to all Free/Open Source Text To Speech systems so the FLOSS ecosystem can build on previous work supported by short-lived business interests, rather than start from scratch every time.
AIUI the developer of the first two projects now works for Mycroft AI & is involved in the development of Mimic3 which seems very promising given how much of an impact on quality his solo work has had in just the past couple of years or so.

Standalone apps / redistributable docker?
I haven't personally dealt with Docker much, but am trying to make use of some open source stuff that seems to require Docker to run (https://github.com/synesthesiam/opentts).
