Indeed piper performs very well. Thank you for the input, I will most certainly consider adding the option to select tts engine in the near future, piper sounds totally worth it.

If you are referring to locally generated speech synthesis, the respecting outcome as far as I am concerned generally sounds generally poorer, and is more difficult to manage. However you can check out the original project https://gitlab.com/christosangel/sapo, where the audio files are generated locally.
Do you mean an option to choose between various tts methods?
And, as far as
send-your-text-to-Microsoft bit
goes, well, if MS wants a copy of Brothers Karamazov, they can save themselves the trouble and get it here , it is free https://www.gutenberg.org/
I totally undersand what you are saying. Initially, the original project used local text-to-speech, but was less than perfect, slower and cpu-costly.

Once a FOSS solution gets better and more usable, swapping the tts conversion is not a great deal.
Hey, I know the guy who wrote the script, he is great.
I have never tried it. But debian based + xfce, so you know what to expect.
Sure, it is a Potatomatic 4000, 2nd edition. No, not Alacrity. Thx though.
I have no idea. On an old potato laptop I tried it on it works ok, if I rush the keys, it is flickering a little.
A cron job would not be a bad idea.
