A curated TTS list for voice agents tracks latency, cancellation, and evals
mahimairaja · reddit · 2026-07-21
A new curated list focuses specifically on text-to-speech for voice agents, splitting the landscape into real-time TTS for agents versus offline TTS for media.
The list is organized around the issues agent builders actually hit: streaming taxonomy, mid-stream cancellation and buffer draining on barge-in, licensing constraints on open-source models, audio codecs, and how to benchmark TTFB on real traffic instead of trusting vendor claims.
