What's the best text-to-speech software out there? Is there anything that is actually pleasant to listen to and doesn't feel robotic? Like the developers put actual thought into the syntax and the intonation going up and down at the right times?
Is it already possible to put a full book into a software and sit back and enjoy it?

How do you extract the voice sample from the program in order to splice in a DAW? Do you pipe it through a JACK interface or can I physically download it somehow?

Is this even downloadable for offline use?
Off topic but, is there a software which can let you mimic voices? I've been searching for this over a year ago and I came up to >>58874770 but I don't remember if I ever found proper documentation.

Yes, it has an API you can send as a URL and it'll return a raw output file:

It's limited to 100 characters though.

OP here, looking for a software that would read whole chapters.
It'd be a plus if you can change the speed and pitch too (but still have it sound human)
