There's also pico2wave (libttspico), which, to me, with the "-l=en-GB" flag, sounds the best by far of any offline TTS that I've tried.

You can hear it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfcme7maygw&t=131s

I agree, I use Pico2wave too after testing other TTS and pico2wave has the best voice in offline systems. I use it combined with home assistant: whenever a window trigger is fired, pico2wave generate a wav file and it is read by aplay command and transmitted to an 90' stereo HI-FI. The result is: the window x it is opening because x.

The italian voice sounds great
