There is piper for instance, which you can try. > An aspect which might slow down progress may be licensing? Completely, yes. There is an extensive discussion on the main debian mailing lists about the question. Such question had already arised in the case of espeak/espeak-ng, which loads voices as binary data. I had to package espeakedit to show that these binary data are indeed the preferred form for making modifications. For AI it's way less clear. Another aspect is distribution by itself. I see such newer tools completely ignore good practices in terms of packaging, making integration into a distribution really hard. I guess we'll have to embrace the containerization approach to be able to ship such voices without spending a lot of time trying to make upstream package their software properly. Samuel
