A very preliminary test version of Piper voices for NVDA is available. Contributions, bugs, pull requests and ideas are most welcome: https://github.com/community-access/piper-nvda This turned out pretty good. I am seeing some character echo issues that I need to address but it is at least an alpha worthy of looking at. Written in Rust and Python.
