    Haha, that's commitment. I didn't even go to page 2 of the index until the Tuesday or Wednesday after BF. The only thing I wanted to buy was another HH and then when I saw they had servers in Korea now, I had to get one so I can flog some fake cosmetic surgery drugs.

    Korean servers? Where though?

    Don't know her though. I mean I was talking generally that, when procedures weren't very common, we had naturally beautiful actors and that procedures generally ruin beauty in the long term, imo. Nicole Kidman, being prime example, as we talked earlier.

    she a Brit

    She is.

    no doubt..

    Great band. But you know, I'm just a girl...

    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.

    get in there, then get out looking like a Korean..

    Let's all go undercover!

    do you mean under the scalpel?

    You and ralf could have very enjoyable back-to-back conversations.

    @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..

    Lol, that made me chuckle.

    well. you start then!

    Dunno if everyone would appreciate. I mean, personally all up for it.

    It was you three guys yesterday.

    there's also this character - Chabuddy - super amazing entrepreneur and a funny guy

    Wicked name!

    one of my cats named JABBA, i call her JABUDDY sometimes. thanks to that character.

    Jabba is a good name for a cat. I mean, its creative. Mine has a boring name. But you know, it was a rescue, didnt want to rename it.

    Wan't Jabba an old audiophile brand. Heard they had very good earbuds and stuff, but, really expensive even back then.
