In the past day or so, you have repeatedly posted several vague, very generic questions that don't really relate to Rust programming and show no effort toward a solution on your part. Please, refrain from spamming the forum. It's not possible for us to help you if you don't approach a specific problem with at least some actionable details.

Since I was curious, I looked into this a bit more. deepspeech-rs was initially exciting, but it took me a while to realize that it's actually a speech recognition library, not a voice synthesis library. google_speech might work, but it's calling into google servers, not doing local speech synthesis.

It looks to me like there are no well-maintained local speech synthesis/voice to text libraries in Rust. The closest is espeak-sys, but it hasn't been updated in 4 years and it's raw C bindings.

The closest thing I found in general was CMU Flite, a small speech engine written in C, aimed at embedded devices. It's not a rust library, but it should be very possible to write Rust bindings to flite! That would be a large undertaking, but if you want to do it, the nomicon would be a good place to start: FFI - The Rustonomicon.
