Кто-нибудь знает приложение для Android реализующее системный TTS и генерирующее речь современными нейросетями, а не старыми движками?

Подойдёт как локальная генерация - так и возможность обращения к серверу, если сервер можно поднять самостоятельно.

I bought the cheapest BT spealker (~12PLN).
Now it will read the Fosstodon notifications for me :)

Weiß jemand zufällig, ob und wie man unter #Android (15) #TTS so einstellen kann, dass es automatisch die Sprache des Textes erkennt und dann die entsprechende Stimme für sie Sprache wählt? Ich habe derzeit Stimmen für DE und EN heruntergeladen aber irgendwie setzt es die Stimme für DE als Default, auch wenn der vorzulesende Text EN ist. Aber das Ergebnis ist Denglisch und in den Einstellungen des Overlay kann ich nur Höhe und Geschwindigkeit auswählen.

Favorite thing lately is finding an article I wish were in podcast form, saving the text to a .txt file, then having TTS Util use RH Voice to convert the file into an audio reading, and listen to my own little robotic FOSS nanny read me the stories I want to hear in my headphones as I do yardwork.

New feature out today in the flash news ⁨#aggregator⁩: TTS (text-to-speech).

Two weeks ago (see: https://hachyderm.io/@paolog/114131812522555845) the platform acquired the capability to create multiple lists to save / bookmark articles. Building upon that function, it is now possible to have it read aloud all the articles in a list, using the local #TTS (text-to-speech) voices on your device.

This could be useful for #accessibility or to create a kind of "synthetic #podcast".

For example this short (1' 13") video shows a Samsung tablet reading three articles using the Samsung TTS voices (English and Italian). Note how a light grey background shows the progress while each article is read. The tiny green toolbar at the bottom makes it possible to pause, skip forward and backward and stop altogether the reading.

Note: for this to work you need to install local voices (it does not work well with "cloud" voices), and disable the automatic screen locking (otherwise the reading stops abruptly when the screen locks).

I'm bringing back my TTS notification reader. Raspberry Pi 3 and Piper local voice.

It's talking like a human!

Have a call with Sesame's demo—their TTS model with fine-tuned Gemma3:27B

For everybody who uses the open source TTS (text-to-speech) application Piper: I have created a Docker file to run Piper directly within the container. No need to install the correct Python version. Everything comes pre-installed in the Docker image. Open source too: https://github.com/tderflinger/piper-cli-docker

#Python Urwid TUI tool for listening text spoken in different accents based on available espeak languages on the system. Generated with Claude 3.5 for ~$0.20. Idea felt too stupid to spend time writing manually but LLM worked quite well in this case. https://codeberg.org/jasalt/espeak-variator #terminal #audio #unix #tts

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet they were eliminated.

When former Tesla engineer Thomas Shedd took the position of #TTS director and met with TTS including #18F on February 3, 2025, he acknowledged that the group is the “gold standard” of civic technologists

By now, it's no longer such a mystery what DOGE is up to - and it's not eliminating #FraudWasteAndAbuse.

Demo of new Siri voices in VoiceOver on iOS 18.4.

Sidan Mona er ein iOS-app, er det takk og farvel ved overgang til /e/OS på Fp5. Mastodon ser grei ut i Vivaldi også, so det skal nok gå seg til!

Eg har blitt veldig glad i Vivaldi, det einaste eg manglar er TTS. Har prøvd ulike addons, utan ynskt resultat.

#Linux #TTS #piper #NLP

I'm amazed how far Linux has come. In my most recent article, I show how to get natural sounding TTS (text-to-speech) on Linux (Okular and other apps)

If you want to listen to text in a natural voice instead of reading, this is your solution.

A worker at the General Services Administration resigned in protest rather than giving Elon Musk ally Thomas Shedd access to Notify.gov, the system used to send mass text messages to the public, which they said would allow him to see "all personally identifiable information moving through the Notify system, including phone numbers.” @404media reports:

Here's another #AI #TTS service, free for now, called #Zonos. playground.zyphra.com/audio
Or free for self-hosting on github: github.com/Zyphra/Zonos
