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

Klipper on android
I was able to install 3.7 following this guide. https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx/issues/9
- I built an audio only Gemini client.

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.

I haven't used it on it's own, but Larynx has worked well for me for Rhasspy

ArXiv Papers as Audiobooks
I'd like to take advantage of high quality TTS models but I'd prefer it to be one I may host myself.
Haven't found the right way yet, I'm considering: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3

Any recommendation for human like voice AI model for conversation AI?
Fast or good, choose one
Mozilla's TTS is a python package installable with pip and uses cpu or gpu resources to render a choice of voices, they mostly sound natural and this is the good. https://github.com/mozilla/TTS
Mycroft's mimic3 is the default voice renderer for the Mycroft project that runs on pi hardware and sounds ok-ish, that is the fast. https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3
There are many others but these are the two I use according to if it needs to run on limited hardware or if the cycles fall freely from the sky.
- I used mimic3 in a few projects. It's relatively lightweight for a neural tts and gives acceptable results

Ask HN: Cool and Useful Dockerized Apps?
Recently seeing this testing mailserver linked on HN: https://tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/86/introducing-mailcrab
I was reminded of another useful tool, mimic3 by MycroftAI that gives you very nice TTS: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3
So I was wondering: what other useful apps have been containerized for easy setup and great usefulness?
Basically the point of this question is to let people share these, for the benefit of all.

You could also try the successor but they didn't get around implementing the harvard voice yet and we don't like any of the voices that come with it.
