# Mimic TTS

Over the years, Mimic like other Mycroft components has gotten clearer, faster, and more flexible.

You can hear samples from all three Mimic systems below, speaking the same [sentence](https://clagnut.com/blog/2380/#English\_phonetic\_pangrams).

Mimic 1 is a fast, light-weight engine based on [Carnegie Mellon University's FLITE software](http://cmuflite.org). Whilst the original Mimic may sound more robotic, it is able to be synthesized on your device.

[Mimic 2](https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic2#mimic2) is an implementation of Tacotron speech synthesis. It is a fork of [Keith Ito's project](https://github.com/keithito/tacotron) with additional tooling and code enhancements. Mimic 2 provides a much more natural sounding voice, however requires significant processing power to do so and is therefore cloud-based.
