I just found this.

APKs for TTS engines

Main page

This is huge!

As a german, I use thorsten medium as he simply made the best dataset.

Mixing english with german, speaking numbers, single letters, pausing without a “.” but just a linebreak, all those can be essential.

And… it is nearly perfect! And all local!

This is crazy!

eSpeak can finally go to rest!

        That would then require running code from memory, which needs to be enabled in recent GrapheneOS. But all fine, they should absolutely do that as they obviously do that currently but during compilation.

      You are clearly not the target audience then. There is a lot of extremely useful info in those model names.

        Yes of course :) I use sherpa-onnx-1.10.26-arm64-v8a-de-tts-engine-vits-piper-de_DE-thorsten-medium and there is nothing irrelevant in that name.

        Still after another commenter wrote how overwhelmed they are with that INSANE download page, I felt that when you dropped those 2 names
