There are great advancements in Text to Speech (as well as dictation) software (such as Piper, Mimic3), including free software, but standard packaging for it is missing. I'd love to use my years of packaging experience to work on it, delivering packages for major distros, as well as Termux and TTS Engine APK, the end goal being having them all accepted into the distros (including F-Droid). Would you join funding this work?
#pipertts #mimic3 #tts #termux #fdroid #debian #ubuntu #fedora #gentoo
Moreover I learned I can host #mimic3 as a server using the aptly named `mimic3-server` command!
Additionally, the marytts integration in #homeassistant will work when pointed at a mimic3-server! 🎉
This is all shaping up nicely!
The picture shows my entire TTS relevant configuration on my #homeassistant server.
(next post will have some downsides though...)
#Linux and #Python available? Then let us have some fun with #Mimic3 #TTS Text-To-Speech #AI.
Mimic3: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3
>> sudo apt-get install libespeak-ng1
>> git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3.git
>> cd mimic3
# recommended: Python virtualenv for the mimic3 directory
>> pip3 install mycroft-mimic3-tts[all]

I've seen some pretty nifty #homelab network maps on here, I need to get around to making something like that.
I'm kind of addicted to spinning up and hosting cool and useful services in #Docker at home (and/or on a #VPS).
Here are a few of them I use on a regular basis:
Anything super nifty y'all think I'm missing?
