Some preemptive advice if you’re in the market of implementing TTS for some customer or service:

Do not ever use any “humanisation” tweaks. Having a computer voice stumble on a word or fucking cough is uncanny valley and how to make people feel manipulated in one simple trick.

Just don’t. Everybody hates it.
