IAMA senior javascript dev, ask me anything
I'm skeptical about a senior JavaScript developer claiming to be bored. Nonetheless, let's see. How would you go about modifying [this](ng/blob/master/emscripten/espeakng_glue.idl) IDL file, this C++ glue code, and the relevant Make file to compile eSpeak NG to JavaScript with Emscripten with SSML support enabled?

Is there a good text to speech program for linux?
eSpeak NG supports running on Linux, BSD, Mac, Android, Windows, has been compiled to WASM with Emscripten. See also espeak and meSpeak.js.

Vietnamese Phonology
I may have a solution, BUT I'm at an airport right now, so... Perhaps tonight I can give you some ideas. There is a program I used to make a few presets for myself. https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/docs/languages.md

[P] Balacoon: Fastest neural text-to-speech on CPU
For this one, I used espeak (https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng) as a text processor. It is almost 17 years old software and is pretty lacking, unfortunately. On the other hand, it's super fast and supports tens of languages. Long story short, punctuation introduces phrase break with a pause of fixed length, and capitalization is ignored.

Balacoon: python package for text-to-speech
I didnt not release trainy parts to build voices. I am considering, but there is so many packages already (coqui, espnet, piper, nemo, fairseq to name a few) that i focused on usability for now. Support for new languages is a different question. Everyone wants to train fancy neural nets. But support for new language is about writing rules and having language expertise. I did it for English (https://github.com/balacoon/en_us_normalization/tree/c1019cf878aa6baf25d6fff719cf418cca5a3107/production/classify). Doing it for all the other languages would probably take me a lifetime. Other speech synthesis solutions use 17-years old espeak for this purpose (https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/docs/languages.md). I introduced the fallback to it in Balacoon too. But generally, it is outdated technology and I believe we should do better.

Is there a good audio-to-IPA phone app that doesn’t assume a particular language?
espeak-ng works by first converting text to IPA and then pronouncing that. But im not sure im aware of a way to input arbitrary IPA, and also the quality is probably too low for you.

I Created A Web Speech API NPM Package Called SpeechKit
There are espeak-ng https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng and pocketsphinx https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx which can be used locally without making external requests.
-
Which languages have readily available IPA equivalents to learn from?
There are automatic tools to convert a written form of a language to IPA, I'm personally aware of espeak-ng, which supports* a lot of languages.
-
Ask HN: Are there any good open source Text-to-Speech tools?
I've had good luck with https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng (for very specific purposes, and I was willing to wrangle IPA)

Node.js Native Messaging host
Web Speech API does not provide a means to capture audio output of speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesis.speak()). Using Native Messaging we start a local server, send input text or SSML to the local server with fetch(), pass the input data to local speech synthesis engine, in this case espeak-ng, get response back as WAV in the browser, which we parse to Float32Array and write to a MediaStreamTrackGenerator which we then output speakers and/or share with peers (https://github.com/guest271314/native-messaging-espeak-ng; https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/tree/master/chromium_extension).

Who is using Web Speech API in their Web sites?
If you want you can use Google's TTS service without Web Speech API with a proxy, see GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis. I made a feature request for Google to release the source code as FOSS Re: Issue 263510047: Release TTS and STT source code and Google voices as FOSS so we don't have to make external requests just to use Web Speech API.
-
Is there a good text to speech program for linux?
I requested to Google to Release TTS and STT source code and Google voices as FOSS which you can request over the network here GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis. Those are the voices Google Chrome uses for Web Speech API. Feel free to chime on the feature request in in support of Google releasing the source code of its network-based cloud service (that google uses for Web Speech API implementation) TTS and SST code as FOSS.

Google Cloud Text to Speech API: The Future of AI Voice Synthesis
Technically you can use Google API key shipped in the browser see guest271314/ GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis . No need to sign up for a Google account to use this. I don't think Google's TTS is related to "AI".
-
Web Speech API is (still) broken on Linux circa 2023
This is how you can make the request yourself GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis.

Build a Text-to-Speech component in React
If anybody want to build a TTS "module" or "component" that accepts and processes SSML input, and that the user can control - to an appreciable degree - on the front-end you can play around with this https://github.com/guest271314/GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis. (Makes an external request). Have fun!
-
how do you make mockups and portfolio with everything requiring paid API
It is possible to use Google Network Speech Synthesis service "free of charge", see GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis. On Chrome if you use Google voices with SpeechSynthesisUtterance() and window.speechSynthesis.speak() you are doing that anyway.
-
[AskJS] You have mastered writing JavaScript from scratch, why use TypeScript?
I implemented SSML parsing in JavaScript by hand for Web Speech API per SSML specification https://github.com/guest271314/SSMLParser, where the Web Speech API nor Firefox nor Chrome or Chromium browsers (Google does implement SSML parsing as a service https://github.com/guest271314/GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis) have implemented SSML parsing.
-
I Created A Web Speech API NPM Package Called SpeechKit
FYI when Google voices are used on Chrome or Chromium-based browsers the browser also makes a remote request, see https://github.com/guest271314/GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis.
-
[AskJS] Do specification authors and implementers listen to developers in the field?
How is processing SSML an attack vector? Google provides that capability as a service - with embedded limitations on character input that are not specified. This can and should be implemented in the browser - without making an external request; native-messaging-espeak-ng, GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing espeak-ng and GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis you can also consider the following projects:
RHVoice - a free and open source speech synthesizer for Russian and other languages
piper - A fast, local neural text to speech system
TTS - 🐸💬 - a deep learning toolkit for Text-to-Speech, battle-tested in research and production
native-messaging-espeak-ng - Native Messaging => eSpeak NG => MediaStreamTrack
SAM - Software Automatic Mouth - Tiny Speech Synthesizer
scrcpy - Display and control your Android device
captureSystemAudio - Capture system audio ("What-U-Hear")
aeneas - aeneas is a Python/C library and a set of tools to automagically synchronize audio and text (aka forced alignment)
AudioWorkletStream - fetch() => ReadableStream => AudioWorklet
pocketsphinx - A small speech recognizer
