Mockingbird TTS Demo

This repo hosts Mockingbird, a demo of open Text-to-Speech tools.

Currently, 3 synthesizers are supported:

• Meta's Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) model
• Coqui's TTS package and the models supplied via that
• ESpeak-NG's synthetic voices

Voice conversion is achieved through Coqui.

Notes:

1. ESpeak-NG seems to have the worst performance out of the box, but it has a lot of options for controlling voice output.
2. Coqui is no longer being officially developed.
3. Where a synthesizer supports multiple models/voices, I manually pick the appropriate model.
4. Not all synthesizers support a given language.
