Open Source Python Text to Speech Software for Linux

NVIDIA NeMo, part of the NVIDIA AI platform, is a toolkit for building new state-of-the-art conversational AI models. NeMo has separate collections for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Text-to-Speech (TTS) models. Each collection consists of prebuilt modules that include everything needed to train on your data. Every module can easily be customized, extended, and composed to create new conversational AI model architectures. Conversational AI architectures are typically large and require a lot of data and compute for training. NeMo uses PyTorch Lightning for easy and performant multi-GPU/multi-node mixed-precision training. Supported models: Jasper, QuartzNet, CitriNet, Conformer-CTC, Conformer-Transducer, Squeezeformer-CTC, Squeezeformer-Transducer, ContextNet, LSTM-Transducer (RNNT), LSTM-CTC. NGC collection of pre-trained speech processing models.

Dragonfire is the open-source virtual assistant project for Ubuntu-based Linux distributions. Her main objective is to serve as a command and control interface to the helmet user. So that you will be able to give orders just by using your voice commands and your eye movements. That makes the helmet handsfree. We are planning to ship Dragonfire as a preinstalled software package on DragonOS Linux Distribution. DragonOS will be a Linux distribution specially designed for the helmet. It will contain various software packages for controlling the helmet. It will be the first of its kind. Dragonfire uses Mozilla DeepSpeech to understand your voice commands and Festival Speech Synthesis System to handle text-to-speech tasks.
