Ask HN: Are there any good open source Text-to-Speech tools?

• mimic3

  24 990 0.0 Python

  A fast local neural text to speech engine for Mycroft

  

I've been quite happy with Mimic3 lately (https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3), the engine that powers Mycroft. It also comes with an easy-to-install Docker image.

• tortoise-tts

• espeak-ng

  eSpeak NG is an open source speech synthesizer that supports more than hundred languages and accents.

  

I've had good luck with https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng (for very specific purposes, and I was willing to wrangle IPA)

I'm not sure about the licensing of all the models/etc, but Coqui AI's 'TTS' python package is fairly good.

• dom-examples

  88 3,230 7.7 JavaScript

  Code examples that accompany various MDN DOM and Web API documentation pages

  

It's such an obvious answer perhaps is why nobody has commented it. But depending on the use, you might try web speech API synthesis. For example a Windows user might see a Cortana option whereas a Mac user might see Siri.

• wenet

  5 3,779 9.6 Python

  Production First and Production Ready End-to-End Speech Recognition Toolkit

  

For STT, take a look at Wenet: https://github.com/wenet-e2e/wenet

They provide support for running in a Raspberry Pi and it runs in real-time. I have tried the desktop version and the quality is good enough when the audio is clean.

• opentts

  10 841 1.3 Python

  Open Text to Speech Server

If your use case allows for a web API, I've had good experience running OpenTTS[0].

It packages several models, including Coqui AI's TTS which I tend to use the most. There's a handy Docker image, too.
