  • GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis

  • I requested to Google to Release TTS and STT source code and Google voices as FOSS which you can request over the network here GoogleNetworkSpeechSynthesis. Those are the voices Google Chrome uses for Web Speech API. Feel free to chime on the feature request in in support of Google releasing the source code of its network-based cloud service (that google uses for Web Speech API implementation) TTS and SST code as FOSS.

  • piper command line tool few English voices have excellent quality (my favorite: "lessac-medium" and "libritts-high") supports 21 languages it is super fast to use it, you need to download binary and models from Github's release page (I don't think there is a Linux package of any kind yet)
