I just found this.

APKs for TTS engines

Main page

This is huge!

As a german, I use thorsten medium as he simply made the best dataset.

Mixing english with german, speaking numbers, single letters, pausing without a "." but just a linebreak, all those can be essential.

And... it is nearly perfect! And all local!

This is crazy!

eSpeak can finally go to rest!

How do I apply these voices, so apps use it?

Go into Settings -> Accessability -> Speech (at the very bottom; at least on Android 13) and then TTS :) hope that helps

They have 3 types of clients, only one works as an Android TTS engine, the others are useless.

I downloaded the thorsten medium and wondered, what the difference to thorsten high would be?

Thorsten high is silly haha. Emotional is also not meant for TTS more for research I think.

I think thorsten made the only good model in German, I really want to make my own one! Or get some famous people on board?
