Hi everyone,

I’m trying to find a reliable Spanish text-to-speech (TTS) solution for Manjaro Linux that can read a text file and output a wav audio file or similar. I recently tried using Kokoro‑TTS:

uv tool install kokoro-tts  
wget https://github.com/nazdridoy/kokoro-tts/releases/download/v1.0.0/kokoro-v1.0.onnx  
wget https://github.com/nazdridoy/kokoro-tts/releases/download/v1.0.0/voices-v1.0.bin  

But when I ran:

kokoro-tts --help-languages  

it only lists languages like en-us, fr-fr, ja, etc.—no Spanish, so it looks like the Spanish voice isn’t included.

What I’m looking for:

• An alternative TTS engine that supports Spanish (ideally es_ES)
• That runs locally on Manjaro (or Arch-compatible)
• Simple to install and use from the command line
• Reasonable naturalness (doesn’t have to be super “neural,” but better than very robotic)

Questions:

1. Which TTS system do you recommend for Spanish on Manjaro?
2. Which are the simplest to install and use?
3. Which are the most natural sounding ones?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
