![]() Overall, my point is that I truly think with the dawn of assistants and AI itself coming to personal computing, Haiku needs to have at least sound bytes inside to somewhat keep with the times. While the default isn’t that good, Festival has a few voices available to it that aren’t terribly bad… if we were to optimize the generated clippings a bit. ![]() There’s also some online Festival demos I found here: ![]() However, I did find a few voices that have adequate quality, like the Pico voice or MaryTTS (at ), which is a text-to-speech tool that I tried out yesterday (and that inspired me to post this). as I mentioned in another speech-related thread before. I find espeak and similar sound sadly robotic compared to every non-free voice from Alexa to Siri… and I think Haiku would have to use voice clips generated from another system temporarily… so I’m not suggesting Haiku reading anything dynamically, etc. It even tells me the time every quarter hour while I work which I haven’t found built-in anywhere else. One thing that I really miss whenever I leave my Mac is the speech the system the Macintosh has shipped with from the beginning, and I’m starting to long for that in Haiku.
