Voice Packs, Text-to-Speech Customization

[LinuxDevice]

I saw (or rather, "heard") some third party voice packs which I might like. Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to ask if these are just "pre-canned phrases", or if it is a full text-to-speech. Can anyone comment? Anyone know these voice packs? Are they full text-to-speech?

Example:

I have a different question regarding using optional Windows 10 text-to-speech, but I'll put that in a different thread.

As far as I'm personally aware they are largely professionally voice-acted, and as such prerecorded.

You'd want to ask the creators of those third-party products to make sure though, via their forum, or their Discord

I'm pretty sure you are correct. The third party site though makes it difficult to contact them. I'm going to skip the voice packs because I don't think a prerecorded set of voices would be useful to me. Text-to-speech is what I'm interested in.
