I haven't tried any of these myself, so this is FYI only quick search for "open source text to speech" turned up http://mary.dfki.de/, http://www.cross-plus-a.com/balabolka.htm, and https://www.cwu.edu/central-access/reader. Source: over 1 year ago

This was a long time ago, so I used Ivona voices and the program TextAloud (though I admit I pirated them because they were/are expensive). Looking into it Ivona was bought by Amazon and replaced by Amazon Polly which looks like it will fulfill your needs pretty well! Source: 11 months ago
I was inspired by a post from Ran Isenberg last week. He created an automation to take his blog posts, run them through Amazon Polly, and create a spoken form of his content. His automation emails him a copy of the output so he can save it on his site and enable readers to listen to the post. This is great for consumers who are in the car or have accessibility needs. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago
