Wanted to ask about a certain program

I was wondering there was a service that exists that has real-time text to speech? I wanted to get back into streaming, but im currently somewhere with really thin walls and i dont want to annoy my neighbours

I was thinking of something in-between whatever Stephen hawking was using for his speech and those little buttons dogs use to communicate

If you wish to use your own voice, good microphones can pick you up while you are basically whispering, much to the chagrin of every one of us annoyed by "ASMR" video habits

Kokoro is what you’re looking for. Fully local and has quite a few voices to choose from. Latency is quite low
