It's only for English sadly
Are there any good options for non-English languages?
another TTS that is only supporting English. This really irritates me
So far the US and China are spearheading AI research, so it makes sense that models optimize for languages spoken there. Spanish is an interesting omission on the US part, but that's probably because most AI researchers in the US speak English even if their native tongue is Spanish.

Machine learning assets are not binary "open" or "closed". There is a continuum of openness. To make a really poor analogy, this repo is like a version of Linux that you can't cross-compile or port. To make another really poor (but fitting) analogy, this is like an "open core" SaaS platform that you know you'll never be able to run the features that matter on your own. This repo scores really low on the "openness" co…
Why can't you improve it or fit it to your data? This can be cross-compiled/ported in the Linux analogy. The Linux analogy would be more like: a kernel dev wrote code for some part of the Linux kernel using JetBrains' CLion. He used features of CLion that made this process much easer than if he had written the code using `nano`. By your logic, the resulting kernel code is not "open" because the tooling used to create…
I'll up the ante. I'll bet you money that nobody forks this and adds fine tuning for at least a year.

>Without watermarking, there will be cries from the media about abuse (from anti-AI outfits like 404Media [2] especially). it is highly amusing that they still believe they can put that genie back in the bottle with their usual crybully bullshit.
Some measures like that still sort of work. Try loading a scanned picture of a dollar bill into Photoshop. Try printing it on a color printer. Try printing anything on a coor printer without the yellow tracking pixels. A lock needs not be infinitely strong to be useful, it just needs to take more resources to crack it than the locked thing is worth.

I really don't think your analogy fits the absurdity of lacking the tooling. It's more like you have to decompile an N64 cartridge ROM and don't have the tools. But I don't want to play that game. I'll up the ante. I'll bet you money that nobody forks this and adds fine tuning for at least a year.
And someone else fine-tuned it for German: https://huggingface.co/SebastianBodza/Kartoffelbox-v0.1
Anyone know how this compares to Kokoro? I've found Kokoro very useful for generating audiobook but it almost always pronounces words with paired vowels incorrectly. Daisy becomes die-zee, leave becomes lay-ve, etc.

meh
In the past I've used different samples from the same speaker for this.
