mimic3

I think it would be good if they provided some samples on the readme. It would be good for example if their list of languages/accents could be sampled [1] [1] https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/docs/lang... > eSpeak NG uses a "formant synthesis" method. This allows many languages to be provided in a small size. The speech is clear, and can be used at high speeds, but is not as natural or smooth as larger synthesizers which are based on human speech recordings. It also supports Klatt formant synthesis, and the ability to use MBROLA as backend speech synthesizer. I've been using eSpeak for many years now. It's superb for resource constrained systems. I always wondered whether it would be possible to have a semi-context aware, but not neural network, approach. I quite like the sound of Mimic 3, but it seems to be mostly aband

I've been looking for a good way to TTS longer PDFs and EPUBs into recordings so I may listen to them on the go. I'd like to take advantage of high quality TTS models but I'd prefer it to be one I may host myself. Haven't found the right way yet, I'm considering: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3

Fast or good, choose one Mozilla's TTS is a python package installable with pip and uses cpu or gpu resources to render a choice of voices, they mostly sound natural and this is the good. https://github.com/mozilla/TTS Mycroft's mimic3 is the default voice renderer for the Mycroft project that runs on pi hardware and sounds ok-ish, that is the fast. https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3 There are many others but these are the two I use according to if it needs to run on limited hardware or if the cycles fall freely from the sky.

It took quite a bit of digging to find the repo link https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3#readme and it's AGPL-3 for those interested in such things

Recently seeing this testing mailserver linked on HN: https://tweedegolf.nl/en/blog/86/introducing-mailcrab I was reminded of another useful tool, mimic3 by MycroftAI that gives you very nice TTS: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3 So I was wondering: what other useful apps have been containerized for easy setup and great usefulness? Basically the point of this question is to let people share these, for the benefit of all.

Very disappointing to see. I knew something was up since Mike Hansen, the engineer maintaining their Mimic3 offline TTS model, mentioned being let go in the open GitHub issues. https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3 Mike seems to have kept the effort going with his larynx2 project. I was thrilled at the results their model produced so I hope to see more from it. https://github.com/rhasspy/larynx2

I've been quite happy with Mimic3 lately (https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3), the engine that powers Mycroft. It also comes with an easy-to-install Docker image.

mimic3 [1] might be worth a try [1]: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3

Hey there, instructions for installation are all here: https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/mycroft-technologies/mimi... and the source code is available at: https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3 There is currently a Docker image, DEB package, and PyPI release.

Hey there - the source for Mimic 3 can be found here: https://github.com/mycroftAI/mimic3 It can run CPU only or accelerated with a GPU. Regarding the BOM, I assume you mean the Mark II? That you can find here: https://github.com/MycroftAI/hardware-mycroft-mark-II/tree/m... We actually ended up designing our own RPi daughterboard called the SJ201. It's mostly an audio front end with an XMOS XVF-3510 and dual mics, but also includes a 23W amp, some LEDs for feedback, buttons, a hardware mic switch, GPIO breakout and power management (amongst other things).
