Readest
Readest is a modern, feature-rich ebook reader
Readest is a project meant to facilitate reading, studying, or consuming content by integrating reading tools with AI-powered assistance. Although the repository is not as widely documented or popular as some, the idea is that Readest supports features to help with reading comprehension — likely combining OCR / text retrieval, translation, note-taking, or summarization for reading materials (eBooks, articles, PDFs). The goal appears to be to let users feed in arbitrary reading material and then interact with it (highlighting, translation, lookup, maybe TTS or summarization) more comfortably. Because of that, it's oriented towards learners, researchers, or people dealing with multilingual documents — especially when they need to rapidly digest or reference large amounts of text. The design seems to prioritize flexible input formats, possibly OCR or uploaded documents, and interactive tools to navigate or annotate them. -

DiffSinger
Singing Voice Synthesis via Shallow Diffusion Mechanism
DiffSinger is an open-source PyTorch implementation of a diffusion-based acoustic model for singing-voice synthesis (SVS) and also text-to-speech (TTS) in a related variant. The core idea is to view generation of a sung voice (mel-spectrogram) as a diffusion process: starting from noise, the model iteratively “denoises” while being conditioned on a music score (lyrics, pitch, musical timing). This avoids some of the typical problems of prior SVS models — like over-smoothing or unstable GAN training — and produces more realistic, expressive, and natural-sounding singing. The method introduces a “shallow diffusion” mechanism: instead of diffusing over many steps, generation begins at a shallow step determined adaptively, which leverages prior knowledge learned by a simple mel-spectrogram decoder and speeds up inference. -

edge-tts
Use Microsoft Edge's online text-to-speech service from Python
edge-tts is a Python module and command-line tool that gives you direct access to Microsoft Edge’s online text-to-speech service without needing the Edge browser, Windows, or any API key. It wraps the same cloud voices used by Edge, exposing them through a simple CLI (edge-tts, edge-playback) and a Python API, so you can script high-quality speech generation in your own applications. The tool lets you list available voices, specify locale and voice name, and generate audio files in common formats like MP3 or WAV. It also supports generating subtitle files (such as SRT or VTT) alongside the speech, which is handy for video narration, e-learning, or accessibility workflows. From the CLI you can adjust parameters such as speaking rate, volume, and pitch, giving you some control over prosody without diving into SSML. The library is asynchronous under the hood, which makes it efficient for batch jobs or web services that need to synthesize many utterances concurrently. -

OpenVoice
Instant voice cloning by MIT and MyShell. Audio foundation model
OpenVoice is a versatile instant voice cloning system that can replicate a speaker’s tone color from just a short audio clip and then generate speech in multiple languages. It is designed not only to match the timbre of the reference voice, but also to give granular control over style parameters such as emotion, accent, rhythm, pauses, and intonation. The model supports cross-lingual and even zero-shot cross-lingual voice cloning, so a speaker recorded in one language can be made to speak naturally in others. Architecturally, OpenVoice separates “tone color” cloning from style control, which makes it easier to keep a consistent identity while flexibly changing prosody or language. The project provides open-weight models, inference code, and examples, making it suitable both for research and for building production voice experiences. It is actively developed by MyShell, which also integrates OpenVoice into broader agent and entertainment workflows.
