Can Mimic2 be installed for use as a System-wide text-to-speech engine in Linux-based operating systems (such as Ubuntu)?
Or is it a proprietary thing that’s only available to those paying a subscription fee?
I primarily want to use it as the text-to-speech engine for ‘Foliate’ (the eBook software), though I would probably use it to listen read Wikipedia articles on occasion, too…
Is this possible?
The sources of Mimic2 are here
Is there not a pre-compiled and pre-configured package available anywhere?
No. Also don’t use mimic2. If anything, coqui’s tts would be a comparable (and more usable/better) choice. Mimic3/larynx is also out there, but unclear if that’s configurable yet? (mike or someone will probably reply to correct me if that’s wrong)
Any idea if they’re planning to have a pre-compiled version at some point?
Based on the demos (of Mimic2) shown on the website, I feel like this could be a strong addition to the Linux Community,…
Mimic2 is way out of date and should not be used.
