Text to speech has been a favorite since the introduction of the TI Speak & Spell. There are many environments where feedback via speech would be a great feature. Up until recently, using microcontrollers for speech was too slow. But not any more, thanks to CircuitPython 11!

The capability of a speech model depends on the features of the microcontroller and the memory available. Faster microcontrollers with more memory can run more complex speech synthesis models. Adafruit has chosen two open source software speech synthesis models for use with CircuitPython: Moonshine Klatt for average capability chips and PicoTTS for more powerful microcontrollers with PSRAM.
