HN title at present is "StyleTTS2 – open-source Eleven Labs quality Text To Speech". Actual title at the far end doesn't name any particular other product; arXiv paper linked from there doesn't mention Eleven Labs either. I thought this sort of editorializing was frowned on.
- modeless 3y agoIt is editorializing and it is an exaggeration. However I've been using StyleTTS2 myself and IMO it is the best open source TTS by far and definitely deserves a spot on the top of HN for a while.
- stevenhuang 3y agoEleven Labs is the gold standard for voice synthesis. There is nothing better out there. So it is extremely notable for an open source system to be able to approach this level of quality, which is why I'd imagine most would appreciate the comparison. I know it caught my attention.
- yreg 3y agoBut is this even approaching Eleven? Doesn't seem like it from the other comments here.
- lucubratory 3y agoOpenAI's TTS is better than Eleven Labs, but they don't let you train it to have a particular voice out of fear of the consequences.
- huac 3y agoI concur that, for the use cases that OpenAI's voices cover, it is significantly better than Eleven.
- GaggiX 3y agoYes, it's against the guidelines. In fact, when I read the title, I didn't think it was a new research paper but a random GitHub project.
