Anyone know a good FOSS text to speech package?

Right, well, after writing and deleting two and a half long gripe-filled rants, I'll keep it to this: Linux desktop, mostly in Firefox or a stand-alone epub reader program for stuff in that format, not reliant on an internet connection even when used in the browser. Ideally, able to work with 'fox's "reader view" mode so I don't have to keep selecting a few paragraphs and telling it to read them or have it want to start from the top of the page every time on sites like SB and SB-adjacent fora.
