About

Piper is a fast, local neural text-to-speech (TTS) system optimized for devices like the Raspberry Pi 4, designed to deliver high-quality speech synthesis without relying on cloud services. It utilizes neural network models trained with VITS and exported to ONNX Runtime, enabling efficient and natural-sounding speech generation. Piper supports a wide range of languages, including English (US and UK), Spanish (Spain and Mexico), French, German, and many others, with voices available for download. Users can run Piper via the command line or integrate it into Python applications using the piper-tts package. The system allows for real-time audio streaming, JSON input for batch processing, and supports multi-speaker models. Piper relies on espeak-ng for phoneme generation, converting text into phonemes before synthesizing speech. It is employed in various projects such as Home Assistant, Rhasspy 3, NVDA, and others.

About

Realtime TTS-2 from Inworld AI is a new generation of voice model built for real-time conversation: a voice model that feels as human as it sounds. It hears the full audio of an exchange, picks up the user’s tone, pacing, and emotional state, then takes voice direction in plain English, the way developers prompt an LLM. Instead of generating speech in isolation, it listens to prior turns of the exchange, so tone and pacing carry forward, and the same line can land differently after a joke than after bad news. Voice Direction lets developers steer delivery like a director would steer a voice actor, using natural-language descriptions rather than fixed emotion presets or sliders. Inline nonverbals like [sigh], [breathe], and [laugh] can be placed inside the text, and the model renders them as audio events. Realtime TTS-2 preserves one voice identity across more than 100 languages, including mid-utterance language switches.
