v0.2.0: First alpha release

This can also be installed from PyPI.

This is the first alpha release of Speekaboo, a drop-in Piper TTS based replacement for Speaker.bot, that works on any platform and is automatically compatible with Speaker.bot's sister project, Streamer.bot.

Let me know how it works for you!

There are downloadable voice models, add custom Piper voices from files, or if you have the time and knowledge (and ideally
an NVIDIA GPU), you can train your own voice.

Installation

Install Python 3.10+ with Tk support.

The safest way is to use pipx.

pipx install /path/to/speekaboo

If you set pipx up correctly, you should be able to run speekaboo from a terminal but you can also execute it from pipx's install path directly.

In the future I might make a more user-friendly installer, as well as a desktop shortcut and icon.
