pyttsx3 is an offline text-to-speech library for Python that wraps native speech engines instead of calling cloud APIs. It is designed to work entirely without an internet connection, making it suitable for local automation, kiosks, accessibility tools, and embedded applications. On Windows it uses SAPI5, on Linux it typically uses eSpeak or eSpeak-NG, and on macOS it can use NSSpeechSynthesizer or AVSpeechSynthesizer, giving it broad cross-platform compatibility. The library exposes a simple but flexible API for controlling voice selection, speaking rate, volume, and other synthesis parameters from Python code. ...

...The models are evaluated with Seed TTS metrics and achieve exceptionally low word and character error rates, indicating strong intelligibility and alignment between text and audio. Fish Speech emphasizes expressive and controllable voices: it supports a long list of emotion tags, tone markers, and special audio effect markers that can be embedded in the text to drive prosody and vocal style, from basic emotions to nuanced states like sarcastic, conciliative, or hysterical. The system is multilingual and cross-lingual, handling multiple languages in a single input without explicit phoneme markup, and is trained on large-scale datasets.

...Because it’s based on TensorFlow 2, it can leverage optimizations such as fake-quantization aware training and pruning — which allow models to run faster than real time and to be deployable on mobile or embedded platforms. The library supports multiple languages (English, French, Korean, Chinese, German, etc.) and is relatively easy to adapt to new languages. With integrated vocoder + mel-spectrogram generation pipelines, pre-trained models, and fairly flexible architecture, TensorFlowTTS is a great off-the-shelf and extensible TTS engine for applications ranging from voice assistants to content generation or accessibility tools.
