Listening to the piper demos [1] and comparing to coqui [2], I'd say coqui sounds better to me, but I'd love to hear others' opinions.
Looks like Piper's latest commits were 3 months ago [3] while Coqui's were 8 months ago [4], so they both seem similar in recency.
In terms of ease of use though, especially with this project, personally Piper seems way less overwhelming.

- lucius_verus 2y agoFor anyone who is interested, CoquiTTS (formerly, MozillaTTS) was great, but the project isn't maintained anymore (athough there's been some confusion about whether or not it's active. See: https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS/issues/4022 https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS/issues/4022). Looks like there's an effort to keep an actively maintained fork here, though: https://github.com/idiap/coqui-ai-TTS https://github.com/idiap/coqui-ai-TTS
