Now that Piper TTS has made it to iOS and is relatively stable on newer devices, I'd like to create a Community hub of sorts, where people can upload voices they've created for it. To go along with this, I'd like to release some kind of training utility to make the process a little less scary for people who don't code regularly. Is this something you would be interested in?
My goal with this is to release more high-quality voices than what's currently available, many of the issues people see with Piper simply come down to the data used for training not being up to a professional standard. Honestly I think the main issue will be data collection, I have absolutely no interest in scraping from the web or using unlicensed data to train like many of these other open source TTS projects.
[cont..] There are countless ways to get #HomeAssistant to play an audio file - for example 'mqttaudio' on Github works, and #ESPHome will do it, but I wanted more control.
A venerable #raspberrypi with a speaker felt like the right solution to me.
I coded up a quick little app in Python that presents a REST API and plays audio files from a queue, so multiple alerts won't crash into eachother.
I also put in the option to generate a TTS voice announcement with #Piper (Piper is COOL!)
