Is there a Foss TTS ( it’s ok if it relies on local Ai ), I’m using RHvoice but it’s really robotic … It’s painful… 😅
Is there’s something that could compete with Google TTS which is preinstalled on stock Android ?

I can’t tell if your only asking about Android, or just comparing the Google TTS on Android to something closer to what you want.
I’m asking for something that sounds human like Google’s TTS engine
Google TTS is cloud based and totally proprietary. The chances of you finding something similar low and it will very resource intensive thereby draining battery
Pretty sure your talking about picoTTS, which is the default Android voice. Pretty easy to implement.
There’s also Piper, which was made by the current Home Assistant Voice engineer, and previous Rhasspy engineer. Super easy to use.
There’s actually a ton out there that vary in ease of use.
