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.

Ask HN: Are there any good open source Text-to-Speech tools?
I've had good results with https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx

Recommend a Text to Speech tool ?
Larynx is a really good text-to-speech engine

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.

Need a recommendation: Self hosted speech to text service
I haven't used it on it's own, but Larynx has worked well for me for Rhasspy

Leon: Open-source, self-hosted personal assistant
https://github.com/project-alice-assistant/ProjectAlice
It is self hosted, offline by default, with options to use various ASR and TTS engines, some online, depending on your own privacy, performance or quality choices. It's quite mature and the maintainers are aiming for a 1 0.0 version release. I have been running it as the primary voice interface to my home automation system for years.
As someone else said elsewhere, there are a few assistants around now. Perhaps there is some benefit for sharing of resources too, as all struggle for contributors.

Is anyone developing an open source, privacy focussed voice assistant?
--> Project Alice.
- r/homeassistant, which voice assistant are you using? My goal would be to use a local-only voice assistant, but confused by all the options, features, challenges, and what is/not 100% local.
