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.

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.

Coqui.ai Is Shutting Down
Coqui-ai was a commercial continuation of Mozilla TTS and STT (https://github.com/mozilla/TTS).
At the time (2018-ish), it was really impressive for on-device voice synthesis (with a quality approaching the Google and Azure cloud-based voice synthesis options) and open source, so a lot of people in the FOSS community were hoping it could be used for a privacy-respecting home assistant, Linux speech synthesis that doesn't suck, etc.
After Mozilla abandoned the project, Coqui continued development and had some really impressive one-shot voice cloning, but pivoted to marketing speech synthesis for game developers. They were probably having trouble monetizing it, and it doesn't surprise me that they shut down.
An equivalent project that's still in active development and doing really well is Piper TTS (https://github.com/rhasspy/piper).

Audio Converter! How to write one in c/c++?
My solution would be to use a speech synthesis library, maybe eSpeak or Festival, just for ease of use; I think they each provide a library that you could use from C or C++ easily. This one from Mozilla is a more modern system with better-quality output, but it looks like it's set up to run through Python, and I haven't looked at it closely enough to see how much work it would be to get it working for you.

Web Speech API is (still) broken on Linux circa 2023
There is a lot of TTS and SST development going on (https://github.com/mozilla/TTS; https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech; https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice). That is the only way they work: Contributions from the wild.

[P] Balacoon: free-to-use text-to-speech
unfortunately not yet. I need to expand the library of languages and voices. looking around, it seems only Coqui had some traction re Brazilian Portuguese: https://github.com/mozilla/TTS/issues/160. If you foresee wide adoption of the tech for this locale, hit me up with DM
