Project mention: What things are happening in ML that we can't hear oer the din of LLMs? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-28
Not sure how relevant this is but note that Coqui TTS (the realistic TTS) has already shut down

It's indeed suspicious. You're sending your voice samples, your various services accounts, your location and more private data to some proprietary black box in some public cloud. Sorry, but this is a privacy nightmare. It should be open source and self-hosted like Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai) or Leon (https://getleon.ai) to be trustworthy.

Project mention: [P] Making a TTS voice, HK-47 from Kotor using Tortoise (Ideally WaveRNN) | /r/MachineLearning | 2023-07-06
I don't test WaveRNN but from the ones that I know the best that is open source is FastPitch. And it's easy to use, here is the tutorial for voice cloning.

silero-models
Silero Models: pre-trained speech-to-text, text-to-speech and text-enhancement models made embarrassingly simple
Project mention: Weird A.I. Yankovic, a cursed deep dive into the world of voice cloning | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-02I 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.

TensorFlowTTS
:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: TensorFlowTTS: Real-Time State-of-the-art Speech Synthesis for Tensorflow 2 (supported including English, French, Korean, Chinese, German and Easy to adapt for other languages)
Hey HN, has anyone found a viable solution for doing this locally and offline on iOS? I'd like to offer a privacy-friendly text to speech feature to my App, and Apple's speech synthesis sounds awful compared to some newer models and TTS engines. The only thing I've found is an older TensorflowTTS example here: https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowTTS/tree/master/examples/ios
Any pointers or tips appreciated.

Project mention: WhisperSpeech – An Open Source text-to-speech system built by inverting Whisper | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-17
If you're not already aware, the primary developer of Mimic 3 (and its non-Mimic predecessor Larynx) continued TTS-related development with Larynx and the renamed project Piper: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper
Last year Piper development was supported by Nabu Casa for their "Year of Voice" project for Home Assistant and it sounds like Mike Hansen is going to continue on it with their support this year.

edge-tts
Use Microsoft Edge's online text-to-speech service from Python WITHOUT needing Microsoft Edge or Windows or an API key
Project mention: [discussion] text to voice generation for textbooks (non-math part) | /r/MachineLearning | 2023-12-01i would very much like to use it to turn the text parts of a book into an audio where i could listen to it while reading. i used edge's tts for speech by giving a paragraph to clipboard and to edge-tts in order to listen the text but it causes two problems: 1. you need internet connection and have the book opened 2. can only do paragraph by paragraph, and is prone to errors or sometimes if you use it too much it wont convert the full text afterwards.

espeak-ng
eSpeak NG is an open source speech synthesizer that supports more than hundred languages and accents.
I'm skeptical about a senior JavaScript developer claiming to be bored. Nonetheless, let's see. How would you go about modifying [this](ng/blob/master/emscripten/espeakng_glue.idl) IDL file, this C++ glue code, and the relevant Make file to compile eSpeak NG to JavaScript with Emscripten with SSML support enabled?
