I have a prototype of the [IBM TTS service voice](https://text-to-speech-demo.mybluemix.net/) complete!
This replaces the default `mimic` TTS engine for MyCroft with the IBM TTS service.
Check out the github repository: [https://github.com/thecodingwizard/mycroft-core/tree/features/ibm-tts](https://github.com/thecodingwizard/mycroft-core/tree/features/ibm-tts). It’s not quite complete yet, so I’m not going to create a PR just yet.
For instructions on how to get started: [https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core/issues/268](https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core/issues/268).
Let me know if you run into any problems, and tell me how you liked the new TTS engine!
I should be able to upload a video soon.

I look forward to it.
