The `picotts` text-to-speech platform uses offline pico Text-to-Speech engine to read a text with natural sounding voices.
|
|
This requires to install the pico TTS library on the system, typically on Debian just do `sudo apt-get install libttspico-utils`
|
|
On some Raspbian release, this package is missing but you can just copy the arm deb package from Debian.
|
|
|
|
On Debian Buster, the package is missing, use the following commands to install it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/s/svox/libttspico0_1.0+git20130326-9_armhf.deb
|
|
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/s/svox/libttspico-utils_1.0+git20130326-9_armhf.deb
|
|
sudo apt-get install -f ./libttspico0_1.0+git20130326-9_armhf.deb ./libttspico-utils_1.0+git20130326-9_armhf.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
