About OpenSpeech
Open speech models offer different price, voice and deployment choices. The models are scattered across GitHub, Hugging Face, and a dozen comparison blog posts. Finding one and actually hearing it usually means cloning a repo, fighting CUDA, and praying the weights still download.
OpenSpeech is an experiment to fix that:
- Every voice reads the same three scripts.
- Specs, license, and install in one place.
- Filter by license, VRAM, language, capability.
- Add a model with one PR.

The three scripts
Neutral — baseline naturalness with no tricky words.
Emotional — tests prosody and expressiveness.
Numbers & Dates — the common failure mode for every TTS model.
