Hijacking since you're dev for a straight answer. There's mentions of multiple voice choices. Is one of them a sampling of the red queen in RE movies? I loved her dialect/voice.

Ah yes. If ever I want an AI assistant to inform me of my imminent death, I want it to be using that voice.

"Hey Alice, call an ambulance."

"You are going to die."

"Thanks Alice."

sadly no. CoquiTTS integration was in the making, where you have some voice cloning features, but I had to delay it, as it required some newer versions(python 3.9) and I think it was 64bit only.

Currently you got the following choice: Pico, Mycroft, Google Standard/Wavenet, Amazon, IBM Watson

And while using one of the cloud variants might cause security concerns, keep in mind, they will only know what to speak, not why (e.g. what your input/request was)

I tried, long ago, using ssml to mod google wavenet, but got nothing concluant
