I played around with the plugin. Very nice! :cool:

I would be interested regarding your experience with different tts
engines.

I started with espeak - very fast, but also very robotic sound. German
voice support seems ok.
I then tested the German mbrola files for espeak, which give better
results, especially mb-de-4 to 7. I think the output here is acceptable
(not perfect of course).

After this I compiled mimic. Not as fast as espeak. Main problem
currently for me is, that I cannot find a German voice. Using the
built-in voice (I used default, rms & slt) is inferior to the German
mbrola voices with espeak.

All together, espeak with mbrola is easy to install (already included in
the repos) and gives good results. Mimic needs to be compiled and gives
bad results for me because of lack of German voice.


Does anyone know if there is a German voice anywhere for mimic?
Which engines do you use?
