The past year has seen an explosion in new text to speech engines based on neural networks, large language models, and machine learning. But has any of this advancement offered anything to those using screen readers?
I can tell you that I was kind of excited for one called Sherpa TTS on Android, but after installing it, I found out that it can't do high-speed voice like the more robotic engines can, and I care about reading at higher speed more than I care about the naturalness of the voice.
