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

Build Mimic on device

While setting up a Mycroft device installer will ask to build Mimic 1 locally. If you initially skipped this you can also re-run dev_setup.sh with a -fm flag for "force mimic".

./dev_setup.sh -fm

You can do the opposite, by running flag to "skip mimic":

./dev_setup.sh -sm
