Text to speech

Open ritwik12 opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Right now we are using GNUstep speech engine for text to speech. But it is not that good and we can use something better like eSpeak or festival. Suggestions are welcomed.

Google WaveNet TTS looks super-promising and provide almost "real" human speech, check it out: https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/wavenet But you can't use it without internet. Probably if somebody interested I can write small C wrapper for it and test it in Assistant

@dossalab That's awesome, I checked it. There is no problem with Internet requirement as most of the features require Internet. It will be great if you can do it.
