For Those who may not know. #Piper, the neural #TTS is now usable on #IOS, but keep in mind, the experience is terrible. The voices are not responsive, and when they are, they speak so slowly that at 80% speech rate, it sounds rediculously slow. I wouldn't try it if I wer you.

OMG these #Piper #tts voices are horrible in French with #VoiceOver. Moreover, there seems to be a major encoding issue because accented letters are very poorly pronounced.

We should do a crowdfunding campaign for a "Starcraft Terran siege tank driver" text-to-speech voice for Piper, so that Orca can angrily read GTK widgets at you with this kind of confident and upbeat intonation: https://youtu.be/dtoIv9BzPHk?t=16
