What's Mycroft Mimic
It is a TTS system delivered with Mycroft (by Nov 2021 it's english only). It's available in two installation types:
- Mimic (version 1) runs locally on device and has an understable but not great quality. But runs on small computer devices like a Raspberry Pi. It's by default the "fallback" if other voices are not available.
- Mimic (version 2) is provided by Mycroft AI server/cloud backend infrastructure and offers a better voice quality (english only).
Tips & Tricks

./dev_setup.sh -fm
You can do the opposite, by running flag to "skip mimic":
./dev_setup.sh -sm
