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.
I have a tiny laptop with the literal bare minimum to get this running haha. Your probably right but the models explode your memory pretty quick.
I did get some really good audio out of this model after a while. I threw the first chapter of the hobbit at it and it seemed to be doing ok. It’s better than espeak and you only need to do it once to get audiobooks out.
I have to check that! But wait is that Windows only?
I got it working on Ubuntu/PopOS.
