Lol, I'm a diehard Linux user, but most of the equipment at work is windows so I'm forced to there. Thank you for the suggestion, it's certainly something of interest to others.

It is getting more difficult to find girls to voice my dolls. My go-to girl who understands my doll fetish is going through drama. I found another, but it takes 3 months to get through per production queue.

I've been ripping porn, I seperate the audio with avidemux, then process the audio files in audacity

Have you tried Amazon Polly? It has an AI text to speech, and it's essential free. You can use it as is, which is very realistic but isn't very sexy, or you can use this rudimentary programming script to alter emphasis, pauses, breathing, whispering, etc.

Has anyone figured out an easy way to have a bunch of MP3s that can be selected by voice? I found some options online but they all seem a bit clunky.

Do you have plans for giving your doll dialogue to say? Is that something your interested in? What about Twine games?

I've played a lot with Acapela for speech synthesis, it's very good and it has custom codes that can emulate certain sounds (coughing, sneeze, etc...), you can also change pause length and specify pronunciations.
Amazon looks interesting but it does that whole internet thing, I like to keep it local for privacy.
I'm essentially using a C++ AI program I wrote now, in conjunction with Julius Speech recognition to play sounds and phrases with verbal prompts. I've talked about it on the last page of another thread.

I just looked at twine games, I think I'm going to try to load a 32 bit Linux on a hdd and play with that, too bad it doesn't run on 64 bit but it's damn neat it runs on Linux.

VoiceAttack is great for voice commands if you haven't looked into it yet.

Upping my game a little now, Bubbles' BT voicebox is still working perfectly. I've got a large program running on a PC to interact with her but due to speech recognition and tts limitations I don't see a good conversational version of her coming any time soon. The problem isn't that technology isn't there yet, it's the privacy concern for me. A local tts system with a "nice" voice really doesn't exist, and speech recognition without sending information to the internet is limited too.
Currently I'm working with ESP modules, hopefully I can install one inside of Bubbles with a variety of sensors and read their data over wifi for my playtime program to interact with. I've also started gathering my sound bytes from ASMR recordings.

More progress, I can freely get the digital status of the ESP modules now, so it's time to start working on analog input. Right now I don't see any reason why I can't get capacitive touch sensors like TTP223 to work, or anything else that could supply a low input on a GPIO for that matter. Once I have analog I can do more, like LM35 temperature sensor. It even has I2C data so it could read a gyro too.

One thing I definitely need is an analog input to report battery level and that's a problem since there's only one so a microcontroller may have to do a bunch of analog at some point and send it to the ESP serial data.
Early tests with the capacitive touch switches through TPE were very positive so I believe I can make a pseudo nervous system with enough TTP223 sensors to keep things interesting for a while.

I've already got 3.3v voltage regulators coming so I'll be shopping for just the right battery pack in the next couple of days, I'm thinking I can hack open a USB battery pack and tag the power coming from the charging board to the battery, hide it behind her chest, and run a fuse and switch up in her neck. I've even considered using a small microcontroller as a timer and a vibration sensor as a switch so she "wakes up" when she's stirred and "stays awake" for however long the timer is. That method appeals to me but there could be complications if she stays in one spot too long and restarts the computer may not pick her ESP module back up right since I've had to establish a connection wifi first before running my test program to interact with it. And the opposite, if she gets moved and stays on for too long of a period of time for no reason she'll be wasting power.

Thanks for the update!

Ordered some piezo vibration sensors to experiment with, a few I2C gyroscope / accellerometer modules , and a big battery pack.

I convert naughty talk from the beginning scene's of softcore porn into mp3's by downloading the mp4's and then use the converterlite app to make the mp3's and then put the mp3's on an old phone I have. Then I play them on a small bluetooth speaker that I keep pinned on my dolls's wig or near her. This helps me with arousal significantly!

Also for "causal talk" I'll have her read some audible books to me that have a female voice, linking my audible account from my Alexa to the bluetooth speaker..this is great for those "companionship" moments when I just want to relax...

To harvest verbal responses and sound bytes I just rip free porn. Wisper ASMR is particularly good because there's no tones and it all sounds the same despite the artists voice. Avidemux allows me to strip audio and save under a number of formats and specify the quality level to save.

Then Audacity lets me clean up background noise and a LOT more and save a short file.
