For the developers, I'm wondering if there is a way to make it self-voicing?
There are quite a few open source speech synthesis packages out there. They're of varying quality, however. A brief list:
* CMU's flite: http://cmuflite.org/ * Mary TTS: https://github.com/marytts/marytts * GamaTTS: https://mym.eng.br/gama_tts.html * Epos: https://epos.speech.cz/ * Espeak: https://espeak.sourceforge.net/
The nice thing about them is, they're available in many distros' default package repositories. Many of them also have Python bindings.
It may also be possible to use an offboard free speech synthesis service using their native APIs, but that would also require that the machine be online when programming the radios. Not a big deal functionally speaking (if you're pulling from a repeater directory, let's say) but not everybody would be okay with the privacy implications.
