Bug#869106: ITP: mimic -- A fast, lightweight Text-to-Speech engine

[Ethan Ward <ethan.ward@mycroft.ai>]

Package: wnpp

Severity: wishlist

Package name: mimic

Version: 1.2.0.2

URL: https://www.github.com/MycroftAI/mimic

License: BSD

Programming Lang: C

Description:  A fast, lightweight Text-To-Speech engine

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.

This package is a dependency of mycroft-core, another python application that I am trying to package. It is also useful as an open-source text to speech engine.

I plan to maintain this package myself and with other Mycroft developers. I do need a sponsor, however.
