I googled around and I'm pretty sure there is no such thing.

  • The best ready to use project I stumbled upon is https://github.com/yousefvand/pronunciations and I have no clue whether it still works, because it uses google voice online once and downloads the robot made audio.

  • There is Lingua Libre, but I couldn't even find where to get the raw dataset for download

  • dict.cc has great online audio in the web and an offline app without audio ...

In case you're still interested, check out Wordbook

Thanks for sharing!

eSpeak-ng

yeeah, from my experience with eSpeak - I don't trust it to sound even remotely human or to pronounce everything correctly.

But it might be a viable alternative for somebody else!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
