   Project mention: My Journey to a reliable and enjoyable locally hosted voice assistant | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-16

   actually the hardest part of a locally hosted voice assistant isn't the llm. it's making the tts tolerable to actually talk to every day.

   the core issue is prosody: kokoro and piper are trained on read speech, but conversational responses have shorter breath groups and different stress patterns on function words. that's why numbers, addresses, and hedged phrases sound off even when everything else works.

   the fix is training data composition. conversational and read speech have different prosody distributions and models don't generalize across them. for self-hosted, coqui xtts-v2 [1] is worth trying if you want more natural english output than kokoro.

   btw i'm lily, cofounder of rime [2]. we're solving this for business voice agents at scale, not really the personal home assistant use case, but the underlying problem is the same.

    Project mention: Abogen – Generate audiobooks from EPUBs, PDFs and text | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-08-09

    It's probably due to the unusual sound format, 24kHz PCM, and the fact that it was somehow forced into a WebM container, which only supports the Vorbis and Opus formats.

    It looks like they created it using the "higher quality" ffmpeg command line, except for the "webm" final extension, producing the opposite of what's described as "an MP4 file that's compatible with more devices".
