Hi !

A friend of mine use that a lot to read/hear IT books, and i found it to be a good idea when transports are crowded.

I would have your feedback about it. Until now, I tested only espeak.
 
Bard has much better sound synthesys than espeak. However, espeak comes with a million languages, and Bard only with english.

However, I found that using M$ TTS with Wine, and convert them to mp3's is more to my liking. I use balabolka to write them to ogg, and speakonia to install basic TTS.

The thing is, once you get used to a speaking voice.. you want that voice.
