Summary

A user-created benchmark for comparing local TTS tools, with results for Windows and Mac, and Linux testing pending. Includes an HTML results page and GitHub repository.

I was tired of not having a proper TTS related benchmark that I can use and test for personal projects, so I had to make one. Hopefully this helps those looking for running local TTS tools. Has Windows and Mac results already. Linux will be tested shortly (have a 5900XT and 3090 workstation) Has an HTML page for results (still running a few right now) [https://github.com/5uck1ess/tts-bench](https://github.com/5uck1ess/tts-bench) EDIT: all known to ME not in the entire world. Thanks for pointing that out. If i'm missing something critical, please let me know and I'll add
