Mycroft premium subscribers have access to a female voice called trinity This voice is actually a pre compiled mimic binary with the voice included

The plugin should automatically detect this binary and use it, but you can also specify the binary location directly

If you are a subscriber the voice should have been downloaded to /opt/mycroft/voices/mimic_tn

  "tts": {
    "module": "ovos-tts-plugin-mimic",
    "ovos-tts-plugin-mimic": {
      "voice": "trinity",
      "binary": "/opt/mycroft/voices/mimic_tn"
    }
  }
