Weird A.I. Yankovic, a cursed deep dive into the world of voice cloning
I doubt it's currently actually "the best open source text to speech", but the answer I came up with when throwing a couple of hours at the problem some months ago was "Silero" [0, 1].
Following the "standalone" guide [2], it was pretty trivial to make the model render my sample text in about 100 English "voices" (many of which were similar to each other, and in varying quality). Sampling those, I got about 10 that were pretty "good". And maybe 6 that were the "best ones" (pretty natural, not annoying to listen to).
IIRC the license was free for noncommercial use only. I'm not sure exactly "how open source" they are, but it was simple to install the dependencies and write the basic Python to try it out; I had to write a for loop to try all the voices like I wanted. I ended using something else for the project for other reasons, but this could still be fairly good backup option for some use cases IMO.

Ask HN: Open-source video transcribing software?
Some months ago I tried the Silero Models: https://github.com/snakers4/silero-models
With the audio sources I had, in English, the transcription had many mistakes. The good side is that installing and running the software worked as described in their documentation, so maybe it’s worth giving it a try by yourself.

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
