Maybe my expectations are too high, but I’m not particularly impressed by the quality of google TTS, which I have currently set up in my HA environment. I read somewhere that google TTS can be used to read out a book, I am not sure if I would be able to listen very long to the voice though… So I am considering to use an alternative one, however before going through that, I wanted to get some impressions from other users on what they consider to be the most natural sounding.
Particularly interested in people who have used different platforms to test the Dutch and/or English alternatives.
This might turn out to become a rather subjective discussion, but who knows, there might be an agreement somehow 
My 2nd question is a bit more specific though… As I have most of my TTS messages in Dutch (would prefer Flemish given that I’m Belgian, but let’s not have that discussion now 
), I sometimes need to have English words included, which - as you can guess - sound really ridiculous.
Is there any platform that allows to include maybe a tag or something like that which would allow to include one word of another language in a phrase? Pretty sure the pronunciation of some English words has been foreseen in certain platforms, but that would be mostly for internationally known brand names or very specific words I guess. But for instance the name of my company (only active locally here in SF south bay area) is pronounced as it should be in English but not in Dutch.
I expect it to be something like:
platform: notify.tts.google_say entity_id: media_player.google_home __data "Jurgen vertrekt momenteel van #en#name of my company#en# naar huis."
But just an example of course. How it’s done doesn’t really matter.
If possible at all with any of the services (or maybe another external platform that allows web calls).
