But I think espeak doesn't sound that great. There is probably better open source TTS now.

rhasspy's Piper tts is a good engine and has some good models for English and Spanish. Integrated into some apps but isn't difficult to code into an app.

Hows Piper stack up to something like Coqui, Tortoise, orBark?

Its very light to run even on just CPU (faster than realtime) and has decent quality. Good enough I made a personal project to turn books into audio books. But quality isn't its main selling point. I think its better than googles tts but that isn't saying much.
