Does anyone know who the leader is in affordable speech synthesis for hobby projects ?
Atm I am using Amazon Polly but am unsure if another offering is far superior. eleven labs is not affordable for my slightly serious level of job ting but aws and google seem well priced. Any other suggestions for a product I can try out?
- mesmertech 3y agohttps://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts Give this a try. You can run it locally if you have a good enough GPU. It is pretty slow at generation tho
- tornato7 3y agoI've tried this and it took ~5 minutes to generate 10 seconds of studio on my 3080. That just doesn't work if you're trying to generate an hour long podcast.
- mesmertech 3y agoThat sounds way too slow, just go with lowest or the second lowest quality. I think even the lowest quality works just as well. Also you can rent a GPU on vastai or runpod, go with 3090 which should cost like 0.29 or even 0.15 if you go with spot pods.
- mesmertech 3y agoAlso there's this which offers a speedup to normal tortoise: https://github.com/152334H/tortoise-tts-fast https://github.com/152334H/tortoise-tts-fast
- reckless 3y agoTake a look at Piper. It's the tts solution used by the open source home automation project HomeAssistant. Produces decent quality speech in a couple seconds on raspberry pi class hardware.
- candiodari 3y agoI think this is the link. Not 100% sure though, is this correct? https://github.com/rhasspy/piper https://github.com/rhasspy/piper
