From e1cdbb6489f6c4905c60743dc410cb9f88815b93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Danilo M." Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 07:26:36 +0200 Subject: piper-tts: drop in favor of python3-kokoro-onnx Kokoro-82M replaced piper as the TTS engine: piper's voices were rejected by ear, Kokoro was clearly better in both Italian and English.
