Awesome project @tts, who is behind it? It's great!!
Alas, we do not know, they've only made one post and I don't think that bot's owner checks replies or is looking for feedback.
Not having an option to adjust the speed of the recording without downloading the file makes this thing a bit useless, at least to someone who uses TTS daily (to spare his already slightly poor eyesight).
I wonder if it is open source and if someone can fork the code and update it?
Well I'm not a web developer myself, but I think I know what speech engine it could be based on:
Amazon Polly, with one of the optional voices. Though I can't confirm this because there are no samples for alternate packs.
I'm basing my assumption on the fact that Amazon provides ready processing and storage, and if you went with your own engine (or more likely just one of the open source ones), you'd still have to run a server for processing. Just saving time all 'round.
