Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

ESpeak-ng: speech synthesizer with more than one hundred languages and accents
Depending on your definition of "huge", you might find Piper TTS fits your requirements: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper
The size of the associated voice files varies but there are options that are under 100MB: https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices/tree/main/en

WhisperSpeech – An Open Source text-to-speech system built by inverting Whisper
If you're not already aware, the primary developer of Mimic 3 (and its non-Mimic predecessor Larynx) continued TTS-related development with Larynx and the renamed project Piper: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper
Last year Piper development was supported by Nabu Casa for their "Year of Voice" project for Home Assistant and it sounds like Mike Hansen is going to continue on it with their support this year.

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).

OpenVoice: Versatile Instant Voice Cloning
There isn't an ElevenLabs app like that, but I think that's the most expedient method, by far.
(details and warning: in-depth, opinionated take, written almost for my own benefit, I've done a lot of work near here recently but haven't had to organize my thoughts until now)
Why? Local inference is hard. You need two things: the clips to voice model (which we have here, but bleeding edge), and text + voice -> speech model.
Text to voice to speech, locally, has excellent prior art for me, in the form of a Raspberry Pi-based ONNX inference library called [Piper](https://github.com/rhasspy/piper). I should just be able to copy that, about an afternoon of work!
Except...when these models are trained, they encode plaintext to model input using a library called eSpeak. eSpeak is basically f(plaintext) => ints representing phonemes. eSpeak is a C library and written in a style I haven't seen in a while and depends on other C libraries. So I end up needing to port like 20K lines of C to Dart...or I could use WASM, but over the last year, I lost the ability to be able to reason through how to get WASM running in Dart, both native and web.
It's a really annoying technical problem: the speech models all use this eSpeak C library to turn plaintext => model input (tokenized phonemes).
Re: ElevenLabs
I had looked into the API months ago and vaguely remembered it was _very_ complete.
I spent the last hour or two playing with it, and reconfirmed that. They have enough API surface that you could build an API that took voice recordings, created a voice, and then did POSTs / socket connection to get audio data from that voice at will.
Only issue is pricing IMHO, $0.18 for 1000 characters. :/ But this is something I feel very comfortable saying wouldn't be _that_ much work to build and open source with a "bring your own API key" type thing. I had forgotten about Eleven Labs till your post, which made me realize there was an actually meaningful and quite moving use case for it.

[D] What offline TTS Model is good enough for a realistic real-time task?
I have been using piper-tts and it is GREAT and super lightweight / easy to use. On a 2080 I'm sure you can use the HQ models no worries!

Easy implement TTS libary for cpp
So i found some library and one which is from github and have read.me or good documentation called piper (https://github.com/rhasspy/piper) so apparently this library is for rasbery pi and yes there is TXT function and i need to modify again to make it more simple but my simple project don't need this kind of big complex libary and all i need is what i said before just a function that can output sound from computer using c++ libary.

Funny I’ve been talking about cloning my dad for a while in this same fashion. Thanks for the inspiration.
