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

Speechify’s text-to-speech API offers a family of Simba models for real-time voice generation across English, European languages, and broader multilingual use cases. Simba 3.2 is recommended for new English integrations, providing streaming-native synthesis, the lowest time to first byte, richer expressivity than earlier generations, and full support for SSML and emotion control. Simba 3.0 extends streaming-native speech to English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese, with language selection handled through the request or voice locale. Simba Multilingual supports 35 locales across 30 languages, including mixed-language content and automatic language detection, while Simba English remains available as a legacy model for compatibility. Developers select a model through one parameter and can switch without changing the rest of the request structure, including voice, format, and SSML settings.
