My eyes have been giving me trouble again, and I am looking to see if
there are any usable open-source TTS engines. I listened to the samples
at https://github.com/mozilla/TTS/wiki/Released-Models, and I like
what I've seen. slash
Is it possible to use these pretrained model on a GPUless Macbook Pro to
create audiobooks? I am ok with a speed of even 0.1. slash
If it is possible, how do I get it to work? I want to ultimately have a
shell function that takes a txt file and gives me an audio file. slash
Googling led me to this 'demo server' thingy at
https://github.com/mozilla/TTS/tree/distributed-dev/server, which is a
404 currently.
