Mimic is a fast, lightweight Text-to-speech engine developed by Mycroft A.I. and VocaliD, based on Carnegie Mellon University’s FLITE software. Mimic takes in text and reads it out loud to create a high quality voice. Mimic's low-latency, small resource footprint, and good quality voices set it apart from other open source text-to-speech projects.

Mimic is going to be used for the voice of Mycroft as its small footprint makes it a very attractive solution for running not only on the Mycroft embedded device, but on multiple other platforms as well. We are working to make an A.I. that sounds great, and Mimic is a great step forward on that front.
