I’m setting up a laptop with Mint (Cinnamon) for a person who needs text-to-speech software. It seems like most of the nice-sounding ones are proprietary. Any recommendations for FOSS alternatives? And any ideas why this is an underdeveloped area for open source?

    As a blind person, I think it’s mostly due to the fact that Linux is only on 4% of desktop. So not many blind people are using it and therefore demanding better software.
