Ask HN: Any good (free?) TTS article readers?
I use the Read Aloud Firefox extension to read newspaper articles and the wandering inn stories. Works well for me. In the configuration there are free and premium voices. I enable Google Translate voice and increase the speed a bit.
Main repo (website there too, or search on Firefox extensions): https://github.com/ken107/read-aloud

What is your favorite FOSS speech synthesizer? What is your current speech synthesis setup?
I don't have a wide knowledge of FOSS speech synthesizers, but one related FOSS application I can recommend is Read Aloud. It is a browser extension for Chrome/Firefox that can use both FOSS synthesizers and external proprietary ones. You can expand voices by installing more local voices. You can for free use their "Basic" voices or pay a small fee for some of their Premium voices (if you pay for premium, as I did for 1 USD, you will get free additional characters every month. I am currently sitting with more characters than I started with). You can alternatively give API keys for Google Cloud, AWS, or IBM. If you want more quality voices.

What is the most human-souding TTS option in Archlinux, available through arch repos and AUR?
Well, good news and bad news. https://github.com/lyrebird-voice-changer/lyrebird is the one, and it looks like it got improved a bit since I last checked up on it. But unfortunately it doesn't work with Pipewire, which is what everyone ought to be on at this point. Clownfish exists for Linux as an appimage, but it lacks the GUI and requires yet another program to do the actual piping which is less than ideal.

I want to be able to use my voice to coordinate with my team in games, but the harassment for being a girl is too much to deal with. Is there any good Linux software that can modify my voice to sound male?
In lieu of that, https://github.com/lyrebird-voice-changer/lyrebird for Debian/Ubuntu, Arch/Manjaro and Fedora.

Voice changer until real voice passes
As a result of science, I tested out lyrebird. If you aren't using linux it seems there is something called clownfish you can use? Here is some comparison audio: https://soundcloud.com/mgmgmgmgmgmgmgmgmgmgmgmg/blup

Are there any good voice changer programs for Linux? (Manjaro/Arch-based)
I've searched the web far and wide, and so far the best program I found is Lyrebird (https://github.com/lyrebird-voice-changer/lyrebird), which allows for simple changing of your pitch, as well "radio" and "Russian mic" effects that just make your microphone sound really bad quality. This is a very meager selection, and so far I have found nothing that resembles for example Clownfish voice changer for Windows.
