The 18% are very welcome to set up a DOS VM on a Linux host with emubns and Piper, just like I did. All the tools are freely available and such virtualized setup is proven to work.
One of the other engineers who experiences blindness on the Linux list raised the point that Piper had latency issues, is that true for your effort?
I did not observe any significant latency. Certainly less than half a second. Maybe it depends on the performances of the machine that runs Piper, in which case the latency might hit me once I move to the Pi. Or maybe the extra latency comes from some other elements in the chain. Kyle on the blinux list mentioned words like RHVoice, speech-dispatcher, TDSR, Fenrir, etc. I imagine these are parts of the Linux TTS ecosystem, and each might be adding a bit of latency. It is irrelevant to emubns of course, as it does not rely on such tools and uses Piper directly.
