A little overacted, it reminds me of the voice acting in those flash cartoons you'd see in the early days of YouTube. That's not to say it isn't good work, it still sounds remarkably human. Just silly humans :)
I inserted the non-verbal command "(pauses)" in the middle of a sentence and I think I caused it to have an aneurysm. https://i.horizon.pics/4sEVXh8GpI (27s) It starts with an intro, too. Really strange
[S1] It really sounds as if they've started using NPR to source TTS models
[S2] Yeah... yeah... it's kind of disturbing (laughs dejectedly).
[S3] I really wish, that they would just Stop with this.
Very cool! Insane how much low hanging fruit there is for Audio models right now. A team of two picking things up over a few months can build something that still competes with large players with tons of funding
Yeah, Eleven Labs must be raking it in. You can get hours of audio out of it for free with Eleven Reader, which suggests that their inference costs aren't that high. Meanwhile, those same few hours of audio, at the exact same quality, would cost something like $100 when generated through their website or API, a lot more than any other provider out there. Their pricing (and especially API pricing) makes no sense, not…

Kokoro gives great results especially when speaking english. Model is small enough to run even on smartphone ~3x faster than realtime.

Hey, do yourself a favor and listen to the fun example: > [S1] Oh fire! Oh my goodness! What's the procedure? What to we do people? The smoke could be coming through an air duct! Seriously impressive. Wish I could direct link the audio. Kudos to the Dia team.

Hey, this is really cool! Curious how good the multi-language support is. Also - pretty wild that you trained the whole thing yourselves, especially without prior experience in speech models. Might actually be helpful for others if you ever feel like documenting how you got started and what the process looked like. I’ve never worked with TTS models myself, and honestly wouldn’t know where to begin. Either way, awesom…
Thank you so much for the kind words :) We only support English at the moment, hopefully can do more languages in the future. We are planning to release a technical report on some of the details, so stay tuned for that!
