Free Local Text to Speech?
Check out Piper TTS: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper
Note: I tried to run it on MacOS and had an issue with Python compatibility - ended up running it in a Docker container, got it working fine. If you experience the same issue, let me know - happy to share the code.

Ask HN: How to run Piper text-to-speech on a Mac (using Docker)?
Hello HN -
My goal is to have a high-quality open-source text-to-speech engine running on my Mac. Research has led me to evaluate Piper TTS (https://github.com/rhasspy/piper) - the voices sound good, and it can run on a RaspberryPi. There seems to be a blocker in getting it to run directly on a Mac (this person explains why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQe861JElXc).
So, I've been trying to get Piper to run in a Docker container on my Mac.
I've spent all evening trying to get this to work, and haven't succeeded. I can't seem to get the right incantation of Docker files & compose.yml to get it running.
Who's been able to get Piper running locally in a Docker container, and can you share guidance?
Here are my working notes for Piper & Docker: https://jonathan.rogivue.net/notes/piper-text-to-speech/
Thank you!

ChatTTS-Best TTS Model
My interest in TTS is around "indie" game creation, animation and "radio plays".
A couple of years ago I started development of a tool to help with the generation of game audio such as NPC dialogue, "barks" or narration for those without access to/budget for human voice actors: https://rancidbacon.itch.io/dialogue-tool-for-larynx-text-to...
One thing I found interesting is that writing a small "scene" and then hearing dialogue being spoken by a variety of voices often prompted the writing of further lines of dialogue in response to perceived emotion contained in voices in the generated output. Plus it was just fun. :)
The version of the tool on that page is based on Larynx TTS which has continued development more recently as Piper TTS: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper
I'm yet to publish my port which uses Piper TTS though: https://gitlab.com/RancidBacon/larynx-dialogue/-/tree/featur...
Though I did upload some sample output (including some "radio announcer" samples in response to a HN comment :) ): https://rancidbacon.gitlab.io/piper-tts-demos/
Obviously there's variations in voice quality, and ability to control expression is currently limited but beats hearing my own voice. :D

Ask HN: Open-source, local Text-to-Speech (TTS) generators
Mozilla's browser tts is kind of not bad, just parse and buffer one sentence at a time and it does all right.
For the backend, I've experimented with piper, which has a lot of voices and accents, though it's tricky to buffer and sync long texts.
