+1. OpenTTS, SpeechHub, etc. Forks and forks and forks... It's a mess.
These all have basic functionality, or the same functionality under a
different package name.
Fix SD at least so it doesn't lag on a quad core machine. Also, there
should be a way to have synth-specific options, because easpeak at
100% without sonic is just painful to do anything productive. Not much
more than a toy if you can't use snappy TTS. That's like having a cane
that relays the info to your ears and arm 0.5 seconds after you are
about to drop into a big crack in the sidewalk, .. or a brick wall.

I don't dev software. i'm a music kinda dude. Just my 2 cents, and
enjoy the rest of your weekend all.
