Gemalaya 0.5.2 was released. PicoTTS is now the default TTS engine.
PicoTTS is a lightweight offline text-to-speech engine. By working offline and not requiring any remote service, it doesn't violate privacy and the speech synthesis quality is pretty good. There are 2 voices for english in pico, british and american, right now it'll always use the british one.
It's bundled in the AppImage so you don't have to install anything else to use the picotts engine.
- Add support for the Pico text-to-speech engine
- Add a combo box to select the TTS engine
- Show a privacy warning when the user selects gtts

Update: v0.5.3 now also supports nanotts, which is a fork of picotts and gives more control on things like voice pitch, speed and volume.
- Add a "Test TTS" button in the settings to test the text-to-speech feature
- Add a config setting to enable/disable automatic updates
- nanotts: Use -f with an input file instead of passing the text with -i
