Thanks for sharing! This is something I'm interested in as well. There's also Piper TTS: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper

Quality seems fairly similar to Coqui-TTS, though maybe the intonation is a bit off.

I've generated a bunch of samples for comparison here: https://gitlab.com/danhawkes/piper-tts-test

Comparing a recent web archive, the difference in the sponspors page seens to be:

It's common to split example code into a separate sub-project so it doesn't get compiled into your release JAR.

See here for an example: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/tree/master/subprojects/doc...
