       @astraleureka @rho i mean our opinion on powershell is that it's as if bash and perl and the .NET framework had a threesome and birthed a chimera-baby

       @atax1a @rho this is an extremely accurate description of powershell. it tries very hard to be perly, but with a distinctive microsoft odour that it can't shake

       @astraleureka @atax1a 5 slightly incompatible versions with conflicting documentation or no documentation at all and occasional random unreproducable crashes, and everyone talking about it online is gaslighting people into thinking that's normal and how the world should work?

       @allpurposemat Aw, .NET core is so boring sometimes. I can understand it being unimplemented on Linux (festival or flite are rarely installed and are uh.. a bit rough) but at macOS at least ships with a TTS and this class could probably be implemented with decent compatibility:(

       @astraleureka I wanted to know what it does, but I do not have :windows: (am on Linux). I think I have espeak installed, I used it to troll friends earlier 😄

       @allpurposemat .NET (or really just the Win32 API as a whole) is a real kitchen sink sometimes. it has *so* much to use!

       @allpurposemat thank you for mentioning espeak-ng - it's been ages since I looked at F/OSS TTS implementations. most of them (pico2, maryTTS, espeak-ng, festival/flite) are oldschool robotic style, but coqui-tts is a modern "deep learning" style model that has surprisingly good results. it looks like it was commercially developed yet released as open source, but the company died a few years ago. hopefully it hasn't bitrotted too hard ... ?

       @astraleureka Haha, espeak is not a *great* solution but I know it works, is small to download, and is easy to pipe into my mic.I did some research into an actually usable TTS a few years back and also found coqui. Checked now and there's a Nix package for it, pointing to what looks like a maintained fork: https://github.com/idiap/coqui-ai-TTSI ought to try it at some point! Maybe I can even connect Powershell to it and run your command 🙃
