yes the idea is to find voices that sound robotic, synthesized

i know that's not what most people using TTS want them to sound like, that's why it's so hard for me to find what i want

yes i already know about dectalk. i know there are many other TTS engines from the 80s and 90s and those all feel like vapourware now because you can't find anything on them anymore

@mavica_again
Have you tried espeak? That one still sounds fairly synthetic.
