I tried it and I ended up sounding American, not my ususal dulcet Lancashire tones. Absolutely nothing like me.
- youngNed 2y agonever really thought about how much i need a 'Fred Dibnah' voiced AI until now
- _joel 2y agoAye lad!
- unraveller 2y agoYou should be able to bring it back to your proper accent using https://voiceshopai.github.io https://voiceshopai.github.io VoiceShopAi can convert from young to old, male or female, or into any country's accent. found via https://github.com/metame-ai/awesome-audio-plaza https://github.com/metame-ai/awesome-audio-plaza who is tracking most things in the voice space as they come up.
- _joel 2y agoCan't see any code for that, unless it's there and I've missed it.
- unraveller 2y agoYou're right. No code ever. Demo looks to just be a tease for the commercial offering to come. It seems they think it is more ethical for people to live their lives misinformed by the availability of this tech because only good people will study the field or run the voice APIs. >we share the details of our findings here, but do not plan to publicly release the model checkpoints or implementation at this time [due to deepfake potential]
- tiborsaas 2y agoSame here, I've tried it with my own voice and luckily it sounds nothing like me.
