Very cool, I've daydreamed about building something similar but always convinced myself I'd have to wait until text-to-speech was better to really incorporate all the sources I'd like. Awesome work!
- pjmq 4y agoThe major advancements in text-to-speech we've since in the last year have me planning on revamping Rad's voice (maybe basing it on Tom Sellek...who knows) but the fact we've come this far has really opened a world of opportunities for audio-first experiences.
- mguin 4y agoYou could use unreal speech for this. Not a plug but i found it really cheap to make realistic tts using an api using it. https://unrealspeech.com/ https://unrealspeech.com/
- pjmq 4y agoThis looks (or sounds, rather) exceptional. Long term I'm going to go with something self-hosted using Tortoise TTS etc but I also want to break away from Google's Cloud Speech as that can cost me hundreds a month when the user base has a peak so this looks great, thank you!
