Using any of them on a de-googled phone is pretty bad since the FOSS text-to-speech offerings are really primitive. Stephen Hawking could make fun of them for sounding robotic. Theyre pretty bad.
haha I'm with you here, though tbh this is something I would have cared about some years ago but these days with tech fatigue I don't even mind the Stephen Hawking guidance (I usually have it off anyways).
I made it intentional and use the GladOS voice from SherpaTTS
sherpaTTS has some decent voices, not studio quality but it's good enough that you don't think about it.
Omg that is so much better! I was using espeak and rhvoice. Thank you!
