RHVoice is a free and open-source statistical parametric speech synthesizer (TTS) built on HTS technology, originally for Russian and now supporting many languages including English, Ukrainian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Esperanto. It integrates with standard text-to-speech interfaces such as SAPI5 on Windows, Speech Dispatcher on Linux, and Android TTS APIs, and is widely used by visually impaired users with screen readers like NVDA and Orca.
Use cases
- give my linux screen reader a free russian voice
- text to speech for android in ukrainian
- use a sapi5 voice with jaws on windows
- nvda addon for multilingual tts voices
- open source speech synthesis for esperanto or tatar
- lightweight tts voices built from statistical models
- tts for languages with poor existing voice support
When to choose
- you need free, offline TTS voices for Russian or other less-supported languages
- you use a screen reader (NVDA, JAWS, Orca, TalkBack) and need an accessible voice
- you want small-footprint voices on Windows, Linux, or Android
When to avoid
- you need highly natural, neural-network-quality voices
- you need a cloud-hosted or API-based TTS service
- you need a language not on the supported list and cannot build voice resources
