Inflect-Micro-v2 is a text-to-speech synthesis model with under 10 million parameters, offering fixed-voice English TTS, deterministic seeds, long-text handling, and support for CPU or CUDA inference. The developer aims to expand the project to include additional languages, voices, and stability improvements if it gains traction.

Modern AI text-to-speech systems for screen reader users have not significantly evolved in the past 30 years. The requirements for blind users differ greatly from those of sighted users, leading to a lack of advancements in the voices available for screen readers.
