piper-tts is a fast and local neural text-to-speech engine that embeds espeak-ng for phonemization. It runs entirely on-device with no network access. Voices are ONNX models. This package installs the prebuilt manylinux x86_64 wheel from upstream releases. The console script is renamed from 'piper' to 'piper-tts' to avoid clashing with the SBo 'piper' (libratbag mouse tool). Runtime dependencies (packaged separately): python3-onnxruntime python3-pathvalidate Homepage: https://github.com/OHF-voice/piper1-gpl
