I've been using festival under Linux.
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/festival.1....
But it is quite old now and pre-dates the DL/AI era.
Does anybody know of a good modern replacement that I can "apt install"?
I used piper with a model I found online. It's _ALOT_ better than festival afaik. I'm not sure you can apt install it though.
echo "hello" | piper --model ~/.local/share/piper/en_US-lessac-medium.onnx --output_file - | aplay
