Word Timings on TTS

[AnlinBabu]

Is word timing supported on other tts engines other than kokoro
i am currently using kokoro and it works perfect. i was thinking if its possible with different engines

[KoljaB]

AzureEngine ist the only other engine that delivers word time information.

wait if i use STT along with TTS i know it is a workaround but wont that work? does RealtimeSTT support word timing?
i dont need this in realtime so

[KoljaB]

Possible but it's not the same.
With word timings you:

• can display the word exactly at the moment it starts to be spoken - STT would lag
• have 100% accuracy
• have zero add-on resource consumption - real-time STT is resource-heavy

Unfortunate but kokoro works fine too
