Hi to everyone. I know that this thred isn't as active as it used to be, but I was wondering if there was any new speach synths on iphone? I know we will probably get new ones in iOS 17 maby, but I was wondering if you knew of anyothers besides eSpeak. Thanks and can't wait to find more speach synths!
DecTalk would also be interesting. I contacted Google myself a long time ago to request that their voices be ported to iOS, but got no response from them whatsoever. Those willing and able may somehow contact Yandex, as I couldn't do that. And how about Microsoft? I highly doubt Acapela Group will ever make its voices available on iOS, as we can currently use them as paid voices for and within apps like VoiceDream Reader. So the app's developer is probably pushing makers of TTS engines away from making iOS versions of their voices themselves, as this will make it pointless to purchase the voices separately for VoiceDream Reader, or whatever its current name is, as well.
The difference is that what you describe as "regular" is Vocalizer Expressive, so there's no such thing as Vocalizer Regular. You just have different versions.
