What people say. Recommended as a high-quality demonstration of an offline, open-source text-to-speech system that runs on modest hardware.

…utput & variety of voices (fifty--across multiple languages, accents & genders) of any other FLOSS Text-To-Speech project I've tried. I think the relative new-ness of the project is part of the reason Larynx ( link ) currently flies under the radar. If the rest of Rhasspy is as good as Larynx I'd imagine it's worth trying out.

Found this project the other day that is probably good enough quality for most uses i.e. sounds very natural and not like a robot from the 1980s and doesn't require a cloud service and can run on modest hardware link Demo: link to this video

So, after actually watching the demo video all the way through, it seems the video is narrated by a Larynx-produced voice "southern_english_female": link to this video While I appreciate the cinematic aspect of the confirmation/"reveal" at the conclusion of the video, ironically--because the quality is so good--since most people won't get through a 7 minute video, it would be entirely possible to not realise the narration itself is generated. So I'd encourage you to consider stating it a little more up front. (Also, based on the release dates it seems like this project is relatively young which explains why it's not very well known at this point.)
