  • espeak-ng

    eSpeak NG is an open source speech synthesizer that supports more than hundred languages and accents.

  • There are espeak-ng https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng and pocketsphinx https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx which can be used locally without making external requests.

  • pocketsphinx

    A small speech recognizer

  • GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis

    Google's Network Speech Synthesis: Bring your own Google API key and proxy

  • FYI when Google voices are used on Chrome or Chromium-based browsers the browser also makes a remote request, see https://github.com/guest271314/GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis.

  • native-messaging-espeak-ng

    Native Messaging => eSpeak NG => MediaStreamTrack

  • One way to do that is utilizing Native Messaging on Chromium or Firefox https://github.com/guest271314/native-messaging-espeak-ng, and https://github.com/guest271314/webtransport/blob/main/webTransportEspeakNg.js for some WebTransport experiments. Technically we don't need a local server. We can stream and parse the WAV directly and pipe to AudioWorklet or a MediaStreamTrackGenerator https://github.com/guest271314/AudioWorkletStream. The same is true for speech recognition, where audio is piped to the local application and text or JSON piped back. Note also espeak-ng has been compiled to WebAssembly. I created native-messaging-espeak-ng for the ability to pass SSML directly to espeak-ng.
