Greetings i am a long listener of the shows . And of course planing to
make my first show . I would like to ask question regarding tts at the
beginning of the show usually I hear the espeak robotic voice . In the
workflow have you considered using mimic1 or opentts / Mozillatts or
something along those lines ? It’s seems like these would be compatible
with licensing as well and bir more realistic voices . A few examples

@Mike Ray
I would like to try and get a happy balance between meeting your needs
and having a voice that is friendly. While I love espeak it is not
friendly - it literally put my kids in tears when they were younger :-)
Could you have a listen to some of the other voices and see if any of
them come close to your requirements for TTS
FYI I find these two "friendly"
