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 But generally, it is outdated technology and I believe we should do better.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).

Speech Synthesis library
Doing something self contained is going to be hard unless you want to port SAM (https://github.com/s-macke/SAM, js ver that might be easier to port: https://github.com/discordier/sam) to rust or do FFI with that (and accept the rather bad audio quality), as most of the other TTS libraries I know (festival) are quite hard to even use

How to get sam voice
If you know how to use the command line this: https://github.com/s-macke/SAM might help. it can save the sounds as a wav file. not sure if works on Windows tho.

Spokestack: Python Library for Voice Applications
Now, if you really want to get your hands dirty, you could check out something like the C port of SAM. I've never really used it myself, but it definitely does have that retro feel to it, and with access to the source, you might be able to do some pretty unique things. https://github.com/s-macke/SAM
