@thorstenvoice @Marco I haven't directly worked on Piper, this is other folks' hard work. I am just integrating it into a new desktop speech framework, #spiel.

..and here is a side by side demo of Arabic voices, first the mbrola one, and then piper. #speech #tts #gnome #linux #spiel

A demo of a #spiel sample app, the voices used in order are: eSpeakNG's "Andy" variant, MBROLA US2, and Piper's Amy. You can observe the different features like word tracking and quality. #speech #tts #gnome #linux

#spiel PSA: I am updating the spiel flatpaks repo. It used to be project-spiel.org/repo, it will be project-spiel.org/flatpaks/rep… sorry for the churn
