Okay, another TTS/speech synthesizer board from AliExpress evaluated:
Chinese-to-real-life Speech Synthesis Playing Module TTS Announcer SYN6658 of Bank Bus Broadcasting — https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005574674522.html
Looks identical to my SYN6988 board. Can drive it from the same #MicroPython or #CircuitPython modules. But it doesn't understand English text, which it spells out letter by letter.
That's a shame. Neat bank of sound effects, though
