- License: TTS is MPL-2.0, whisper-timestamped is AGPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to TTS: glow-tts, python, hifigan, pytorch.
- More GitHub stars (46k vs 2.8k) - visibility, not fit.
When NOT to use TTS
- Last GitHub push was 694 days ago (dormant maintenance, Aug 16, 2024). Validate activity before betting a new project on TTS.
