From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm looking for a straightforward way to get real-time text-to-speech (TTS) on Manjaro Linux. I'd like to be able to copy/paste a block of text and start listening to it right away. I've seen scripts that split text into sentences and feed them to models like the smallest Kokoro TTS. Does anyone have a simple-to-install solution or script for this on Manjaro?

For setting up and selecting Piper TTS voices, use Pied. Then use KMouth by KDE to have an app to paste text in an make use of Piper TTS voices.
