Tbh I generally prefer that robot voices actually sound like robots. I don't want human sounding TTS since I don't like anthropomorphized machines. So I'd stay with something low tech.
100%. It irks when software has messages in the first person. The human-like TTS are very uncanny valley to me.
I needed voice over for a video recently and everyone is telling me to use AI, I tried dozens and they'll all just off. Ended up getting a friend to record it. I don't have a decent mic so my own recording sounded bad.
I went back from SherpaTTS to eSpeak because I liked the robot woman better. She's easy to understand, takes up 5 mb on my phone and it's a fun conversation starter.
