Wordbook.

It downloads everything when you install it and can then be used entirely offline.

Thank :) this is great.

Your welcome :) It does its job perfectly 👌 I can’t remember how to do it now but I think you can even use a keyboard shortcut to use it with any selected text in other programs.

For the tts part, try PiperTTS it allows to use various models for speaking

dict(1)

You can connect offline dictionaries to it too.

Ohh, sorry, missed the “out loud” part. Don’t think that “dict” supports that

I bet with a little work you could then feed this through a tool for audio. Kinda curious to look into it myself.

This is exactly what I was thinking. A TTS tool like piper could maybe make that happen.

Hello dyslexia. Nice to meet you. What were your parents thinking naming you that though?

I googled around and I’m pretty sure there is no such thing.

The best ready to use project I stumbled upon is https://github.com/yousefvand/pronunciations and I have no clue whether it still works, because it uses google voice online once and downloads the robot made audio.

There is Lingua Libre, but I couldn’t even find where to get the raw dataset for download

dict.cc has great online audio in the web and an offline app without audio …

In case you’re still interested, check out Wordbook

Thanks for sharing!

eSpeak-ng

yeeah, from my experience with eSpeak - I don’t trust it to sound even remotely human or to pronounce everything correctly.

But it might be a viable alternative for somebody else!
