Replacing Google's text-to-speech engine with Sherpa TTS on Android

For any Android users out who want to use a text-to-speech engine other than Google's, I recommend Sherpa TTS

It's open source, offline, multilingual, and available on F-Droid.

I use text-to-speech a lot with my RSS readers (Feeder and ReadYou), and it's been a game-changer.

1. Download the app

To get it working, download the app from F-Droid (here's more info on how to install F-Droid), or download the .apk to install it directly.

Open Source TTS Scribe / Auto-Transcriber / Speech-to-text Transcriptions / Captions & Subtitles Exporter / Interactive Transcripts / Alternative to Otter, Descript, Sonix

Hello world!

As a video editor, researcher, digital media enthusiast, and lover of all things FLOSS, I've been on the hunt for an open source alternative to proprietary services like Otter, Sonix, and Descript. I've pitched my idead on open-source-ideas, but I wanted to create a dedicated post for it so that it can reach as many people as possible.

Project description

The idea

A simple, easy-to-use application where users can dictate or upload audio or video files, and an automated transcript is generated. This transcript is synced to the audio track, clickable, and editable, so that users can skip to certain passages and refine the transcript accordingly.

The revised transcript can then be exported as plain text, .srt caption file (and other subtitle formats), .pdf, shareable web page, etc. for further processing.
