Best Voices for Speech Central on iPhone

I've used Voice Dream for more than a decade and downloaded Speech Central today to use modern voice tech without needing to sign up for a reoccurring subscription.

After installing it I learned it's not possible to use the new Siri voices with third party apps.

Any recommendations for great quality voices I can install and use with this app?

I tried the Piper TTS ones and they can probably work, but I don't love them.

The best I've heard so far is the Notebook LM/Gemini Notebook synthetic podcaster voices and would love something of that caliber, but that could be saved and used offline.

I'm willing to make one-time voice purchases, but want to avoid reoccurring fees.

I added a Google Cloud API key to use their voices, but the interface seems to crash and I'd like something more reliable and usable offline.
