You mean just the text to speech part? Look into Piper

Looks like a project that utilizes coqui-AI: github.com/coqui-ai/TTS

When can I get one of these voices to read an epub on my phone? I’d love to have something like that

Librera FD as your reader app: www.f-droid.org/en/…/com.foobnix.pro.pdf.reader/
Sherpa Onnx as your TTS engine: github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx

I recommend the piper TTS pretrained models, either Lessac medium or Kusal high/medium

Installing Sherpa Onnx TTS makes it an option to use as your system TTS voice

Regarding the TTS specifically, I remember looking into TorToiSeTTS back when this stuff was first coming out. You can generate ElevenLabs quality audio with it, but it’s insanely slow. In fact, when I was looking into it, it seemed like ElevenLabs may have been using a (much faster at the time) version of TorToiSe TTS, given the output is so similar.

According to the linked Github page, they seem to have solved the speed issues now, so it might be worth looking into. Of course, the other commenters have provided solutions that are pre-integrated into the LLM, but if you’re just looking for TTS this could be worth checking out. Also worth noting that this requires an NVIDIA GPU.

This is what OP looks for. It exists! Other repos only cover partially (e.g. either ollama or tts)
