    Ce week-end, je me suis amusé sur mon poste avec #mycroft et #mimic3 (text to speech) en français. Bon, on va pas se mentir, ce n'est pas parfait mais j'arrive à interroger wikipedia et lancer des musiques sur spotify. La prochaine étape est de changer le "wakeword" puis peut etre la partie "speech to text" qui est encore celui de google indirectement. Le plus bizarre / marrant est la lecture de mot anglais en français 🥖

    I'm looking through the #Mimic3 voices for #MyCroft on the mycroft.ai website, and it's vast. There's so many languages and accents to find. What I find odd, though, is that German language speech synthesizer has emotions on it. The system can speak in a drunken, sleepy, or amused tone. We have truly come a long way with this technology. (BTW, no one needs to tell me about the origins of these samples.) #TextToSpeech #TTS

    @mahmoudajawad Hardware wise, they've been abysmally slow. Software wise, they've been OK. They've recently put out , which is really good actually. It's separate from , so it can be used for pretty much anything, and its quality is up there with any TTS solution I've heard running on a local machine.

    Ooo, installed in my , and configured my new instance to use it. Works beautifully. I wonder if I can get all this running on the when it comes in. It's after all, so I don't see why it shouldn't work.

    A fun and slightly weird introductory video of by . Watched it last night with my wife. Her reaction was, "WTF was that?" Not inappropriate, but still funny.

    @pixelherodev I haven't tried this personally, so grain of salt here, but it's my understanding that the entire stack CAN run offline now. The part is still the biggest PITA as they don't have easy configuration to use it and it's setup is a pretty big pain. It's also not a turn key thing to switch installations from the default cloud version to the locally hosted version. is by far the easiest to use. Despite all that, it is an option to run everything fully on prem.

    's is now live and ready for use. If you've got a project that requires TTS, it could be a very good option for you. It respects your privacy, runs fully offline, and it's open source. On top of all that, there's hundreds of voices to choose from and speaks dozens of languages.

    @blackfire Nothing 3rd party, and I'm being more than a little hyperbolic, but there are instructions on the Github page:

    github.com/MycroftAI/selene-ba

    Theoretically with the backend on prem, any instances pointed to that backend, and a local install, you can run the whole stack privately and offline. I've never done the whole stack, and Mimic3 is still so new that you have to request the files manually, but I'd love to see this working.

    is finally available for beta testing. It's not a "fully open" test and they send you a link with a generic user/pass combo after you register your email. I assume this is to limit bot traffic and gauge interest. Still looking forward to the in September, and more than likely I'll be using the new @popey voice. I'm still using the original ap voice on my Mark1, and it wouldn't feel natural to use anything else.
