Show HN: Pi-C.A.R.D, a Raspberry Pi Voice Assistant
Yes! I'm currently using https://espeak.sourceforge.net/, so it isn't especially fun to listen to though. Additionally, since I'm streaming the LLM response, it won't take long to get your reply. Since it does it a chunk at a time, there's occasionally only parts of words that are said momentarily. Also of course depends on what model you use or what the context size is for how long you need to wait. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago
Does anyone know any good TTS program for linux? I'm hoping for something free. There's a good option on windows, but I tried messing with wine to use it on linux and it wasn't working for me.
You might try espeak or - for something that looks more feature-rich - festival. Source: about 1 year ago

Vocaloid 6
Can someone point to a good open source alternative for vocaloid? I know of Sinsy [0] but I couldn't get it working. Ecantorix [1] is very old and rudimentary (it uses espeak underneath [2]). Searching just now I see OpenUtau [3] but I have no experience with it. Seems crazy there isn't a good FOSS solution for this.

Is there a website that reads the custom phonetically written words?
The closest that I know of is espeak, https://espeak.sourceforge.net/ . It certainly doesn't cover all of the IPA though. Source: over 1 year ago
