From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There are multiple screenreaders but their voices simply suck. KDEs espeak has way worse voices than Android eSpeak for some reason.

There is Thorsten Voice, a grest project that sounds really nice.

Not sure if he has a espeak dataset too.

Do you know any others?

Its essential for blind people, I dont think any blind person uses Linux if they have to hear these robot voices every day.

Just please don't use one of the kid voices for technical videos, a la babywogue and their GNOME development videos.
