    @ralf Over the past few months, I researched a few TTS models and here are my findings that might help you.

    These are the models I found best for most purposes:-
    1. https://github.com/index-tts/index-tts - Imo, the best out there, but, no clear licence information. So, can't be sure if it can be used for commercial projects. One of the best features here is that it can also very reliably do emotions with weightage. There are several emotions that it supports by default. I tried mailing their team regarding clarification on the licence terms, but, they never replied. So, I moved onto the next one I found most suitable for my use case.
    2. https://github.com/SWivid/F5-TTS - A very close second. Doesn't have emotion control and such. But, I guess, it can be trained to do that using multiple voices and using specific datasets using the custom toml file they specify on their Github. I did try that though. But, didn't find emotion control very smooth. Sometimes, teh voice is just shouting. But, cloning is prefect, I'd dare sya close to a 100% match.

    Training your own voice
    Both of the above models, esp. F5 has a training pipeline within the original source code that you can use very easily. For preparation of the dataset, i.e., to record your voice, I recommend https://github.com/rhasspy/piper-recording-studio. It has readmymade dataset for many popular accents. You can also add your own, which I do recommend to make sure there is good phoneme coverage. Remember, most of these models use pinyin characters, so phoneme coverage is important.
    As for the dataset size, it depends, if you wanna train from scratch, you will need thousands of hours of raw voice data. But, if you can work by pre-training an already available model, I recommend F5_TTS instead of E2_TTS. Might take a bit of trial and error to find what workds for you best. If pre-training an already available model, you just need an hour of data, will work even with a few minutes of data, but, I do not recommend that.
    Also, use a good condensor mic and maybe some denoising software for the best reults.

    If you have any doubts, let me know. I will try to clarify according to my knowledge. Please understand I am no expert in this matter. EVerything I have written above is based on what I researched in the past few months and I even tested a few other models to find which one would be best for me like Orpheus, Dia, etc. Hope this helps someone.

    Oh cool, thanks. I'll take a look at both of those as well. I hadn't found either.

    The one that looked the best when I looked was Spark-TTS:
    https://huggingface.co/spaces/Mobvoi/Offical-Spark-TTS
    https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.01710
    https://sparkaudio.github.io/spark-tts/

    Others I found that didn't seem to do cloning of your own voice were:
    https://github.com/rhasspy/piper
    https://github.com/WhisperSpeech/WhisperSpeech
    https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1f0awd6/best_local_open_source_texttospeech_and/
    https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS
    https://mycroft-ai.gitbook.io/docs/mycroft-technologies/mimic-tts
    https://github.com/myshell-ai/OpenVoice
    https://www.resemble.ai/open-source-voice-cloning-multiple-languages/
    https://github.com/yantze/vim-tts
    https://github.com/myshell-ai/MeloTTS
    https://github.com/RVC-Boss/GPT-SoVITS

    Of those, coqui TTS seems to promise voice cloning, but nothing to indicate it's actually possible. Also looks like the open source effort has been abandoned.

    Well, I would have thought that as well, but, there are still AI TTS projects that do see active development. I know you prolly already know this, but, make sure the licence for both the models and the app say they are suitable for your purpose. This is why I prefer F5-TTS cause they have a permissive licence.

    are you talking about TiTS?

    Farthest thing from that :lol:

    TTS = Text to speech

    best talk about tits.. TTS = tits to screen..

    Not on this thread hopefully. Sup? Excited about day after tomorrow's draw?
    Also got your daily bonus for today on the December giveaway?

    yep, got it all sorted.. thanks.

    I almost missed getting mine today.

    Close call, thank god!

    but Kate Beckinsale insists she did nothing either.. very silly.. so often while trying to hide their work, it goes somehow wrong..

    The right image looked a bit like if ScarJo had a procedure that went horribly wrong.

    And soooo pretty on the left... Like I'm watching a mirror.

    Yup, definitely an example of going under the knife gone wrong.

    Word

    Why don't surgeons recommend them better options. I mean, I am sure these aren't simple procedures that cost only a few hundred dollars.

    There are but not in the us I guess.

    I mean, I have heard South Korea is the preferred country for cosmetic procedure for many.

    Yeah, I was told that actually it's even relatively common for mothers to gift their daughters cosmetic surgery work for their 18th birthday. Kind of nuts.

    But it seems that there's a very sexist culture in the workplace though. It seems that many roles are more gendered than elsewhere and attractiveness is the highest ranking criteria for most of the office jobs, more than actually having any qualifications at all. So if you want to get ahead in work, you get some surgery done.

    Of course, only 1 girl told me that, could be completely anecdotal and/or BS.

    And no, it wasn't me.

    Sounds alike. I approve of this message.

    Is Dutch very close to German?

    Yeah in some ways. There's some overlap. Use to be a lot of overlap in the '40s :smile:

    Oh, I have heard German spoken in some movies. Never Duthc though. Hence, I was curious.

    Nah, we spoke German.

    Oh, so your primary language in NL is still German. I mean is German still preferred over Dutch there?

    Just answering as Sara seems to be away. They speak Dutch in NL. German in Germany. Weird German in Austria. Differently weird German in parts of Switzerland.

    Dutch isn't far off what you'd get if you crossed German and English and doubled a load of vowels to make things a bit more fun.

    I think she meant she spoke German because she earlier said some of her family is German and also she drove there yesterday. I guess it's also possible the colleague is German not Dutch.

    Something like that... Weiß nicht.

    I meant King Charles the Third!

    Yah yah, I know :lol:
    Somehow calling someone "king" in literal sense of the word, in 21st century feels weird, if not superfluous.

    well he is a king nonetheless and holds supreme power in the britsh commonwealth.

    Yah, that's what concerns me. It's have been completely alright if British royalty was just a non-executive authority, close to the President of India.
    But, no, I believe the British parliament still needs to take permission for some procedures from the monarchy, but the executive authority still rests for the major part with brit parliament, if I am not wrong.
    Someone being given powers to administer a country in any capacity just cause they were born into a certain family just seems wrong for me

    It's not really that bad. Technically what you say is true, but in practice it's all ceremonial. He doesn't have the right to create or remove laws himself, his power is limited to allowing or vetoing new legislation. There hasn't been a single veto'd law for over 200 years, and the general consensus is that if the monarch ever did veto a law it'd trigger the start of completely removing the monarchy.

    In practice however, the pretence of having to seek the kings approval on everything does provide a safety net should some party get elected who decided to completely destroy the rule of law or government. For instance, if a UK party tried to act the was Trump has done this term, just enacting laws and decrees without any discussion, I'd hope the monarch would actually interfere.

    But yeah, TLDR: it's basically just ceremony.

    Thought so. Kinda like our royals. It's fun though. I'm not opposed.

    Probably... Got a squismellow like that I think.

    What's that? SOme kinda of a toy like Labubus?

    Yeah, just some fluffy animals . Was another big thing like a2 years ago maybe. Things freaking expensive

    I have never understood the appeal. I have seen YouTube videos of some of the limited edition dolls being bought and sold at price of jewellery or something. I don't think they will ever increase in value and will prolly die down like NFTs.

    I dunno , some real collectors shit amongst it. All i know my kid wants it and it drains my wallet!

    Yeah, I think labubus and pokemon cards are similar really. It's all blind purchasing hoping that you get the one thing that is super rare because then everyone will be jealous and pay too much for it. Suckers.

    ....

    No... Not gonna go there!
