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.

shouldn't there at least be an option to use
speech-dispatcher
?Do you mean an option to choose between various tts methods?
i believe that's what speech-dispatcher is; a uniform interface for tts systems.
If you are referring to locally generated speech synthesis, the respecting outcome as far as I am concerned generally sounds generally poorer, and is more difficult to manage. However you can check out the original project https://gitlab.com/christosangel/sapo, where the audio files are generated locally.
well speech-dispatcher has no synthesis component, you can plug in any tts engine that follows the interface. it's nice to have a choice in engine just by implementing the support. personally i use piper which i feel gives a pretty good performance.
Indeed piper performs very well. Thank you for the input, I will most certainly consider adding the option to select tts engine in the near future, piper sounds totally worth it.
