Ubuntu Desktop 26.10 "Stonking Stingray" Roadmap: Building toward Ubuntu 28.04 LTS

Wish there was a better text-to-speech engine rather than speech-to-text. I tend to want my computer to speak to me more than I want to speak to my computer.
Guess that’s just me.
I assume you are talking about eSpeak? It sounds very robotic (and bad). Maybe Mozilla's TTS is an option, I don't know. Source https://github.com/mozilla/TTS and some examples https://erogol.com/ddc-samples/ .

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.
