Are there any free/open-source TTS options out there that are on the same level as Google Cloud’s? I tried a lot of free ones, but they are absolutely awful and still sound like my Amiga did 30 years ago. With LLMs being available as open source, I am hoping there’s also a good TTS offering I just haven’t found yet.

    Balabolka was/is my go to for TTS. It creates audio files as well for later if you need. Used it to make plenty of audio books in the past.
