I am increasingly pulled towards enjoying more British #TTS due to my recent introduction to Harry Potter. Suddenly, British English sounds fresh and lifely to my ears. what are some voices across the spectrum, acapella, vocaliser, Neospeech, or even from the formants family I should play with? I love reading books, but mostly I want to tidy up my english pronunciation.
my current switch is siri voice 3 and jamy compact vocaliser.Suggestion welcome.

There are also many AI TTS created by folks at 11 Labs and other open source implementations that support speech to text and text to speech. But I'm looking for traditional formant synthesis implementation. Do we have existing phonemizer or any sort of that that can aid Tamil TTS creation? #tamil #tts #linguist #language #formant (2/2)
