GNOME is exploring the state of speech synthesizers on Linux and screen readers.

It would be great if they could bring the standard synthesizers like espeak closer to the state of the art or integrate something more modern to speachd.

What a antivirtue, if life was a TV Series you would all be satire.

Actually, I am happy with the robotic-sounding voice of eSpeak.

Don't worry, your comment is cringe as well!
