I wonder what it would take to have decent FLOSS text-to-speech support on Linux.

  @KekunPlazas The truth is still out there (and presumably works): https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3 … now if only distros could ship that shit and enable it as the default for speech-dispatcher, we could have nice things.

    Arrange for Mimic 3 to replace eSpeak as the default TTS engine for better quality (#378) · Issues · GNOME / orca · GitLab
    
    Hi, I'm filing this in the hope of raising awareness about a relatively new development on the TTS side that could be very beneficial to Orca users.

  @nekohayo That's pretty much what I had in mind. Too bad Mycroft got crushed by patent trolls. 😔

  @nekohayo @KekunPlazas Oh crap, didn't know MyCroft got crushed. :(
  Hopefully mimic3 will somehow continue to be maintained by the community.
