I am writing a text to speech code using the pyttsx3 library, is there any way to add more voices?
The voices that are currently available are too robotish, I’m working on Ubuntu 18.04, python3.6. Is there a way to add more voices for the english language?

Hi @ehportsopaq, aside from changing the voices as shown in this post, I am not familiar with making new voices for pyttsx3. For more info you may want to engage with the pyttsx3 developer community, as this is not a question specific to Jetson.

There is another TTS library at https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-voice, however this will be more resource intensive than pyttsx3 as it uses deep learning.
