There are multiple screenreaders but their voices simply suck. KDEs espeak has way worse voices than Android eSpeak for some reason.
There is Thorsten Voice, a grest project that sounds really nice.
Not sure if he has a espeak dataset too.
Do you know any others?
Its essential for blind people, I dont think any blind person uses Linux if they have to hear these robot voices every day.
Samsung’s TTS engine for android is the best I have found. I use it to listen to epub books.
Not FOSS.
Samsung sucks though… also softwarewise. Like, I debloated many phones and Samsung is crazy.

So their TTS will probly neither work offline, nor standalone
