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).

Is Mycroft still worth it?
Check out OVOS.

Home Assistant’s Year of the Voice – Chapter 2
I used to work for Mycroft, so I'm hoping to eventually create an image that's compatible with Home Assistant pipelines.
For now, though, you may want to check out OVOS: https://openvoiceos.com/

?largest capacity DDR3L (1.35v) SODIMM
Blast you're so right! I already ordered an M92, but when LLaMA takes off for voice assistants and I max out my RAM I shall have a think about that HP G2!! With one of those maybe I could have enough RAM to run openbsd and have several VMs running on it! Thank you :D
- I've been working on Serge, a self-hosted alternative to ChatGPT. It's dockerized, easy to setup and it runs the models 100% locally. No remote API needed.

OVOS - Persona Initiative
Good news, everyone! As those of you who are following OpenVoiceOS GoFundMe campaign may already have spotted, we've surpassed our most recent fundraising target, and set a new one. Our current stretch goal is a doozy. We're looking to give the Assistant a personality! More specifically, a configurable personality, to make your Assistant that much more... yours.
- ovos-core 0.0.7 was just released!

OVOS migration with docker containers ...
However it did not work for me out-of-the-box. I had to create some custom Dockerfiles to make adjustments to some of the images before all of them would start up correctly. i got around the Rapidfuzz issue you ran I to using the fix described here: https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-core/issues/267

I would like a voice assistant for Home Assistant. What are my options ?
OVOS : There's a Dockerfile in the core repo that you should be able to use to make a Docker image for headless OVOS-Mycroft. You'd probably still have to set up the personal backend for it - not sure as I haven't set it up yet. This is likely the voice assistant replacement route that I'm going with, when there is time to do it.
