My god I never realised how badly I wanted this until now. Only, with the voice of the Star Trek Computer. Elevenlabs, here I come..! Edit: well that only took me 30 minutes. "Warning: ssh tunnel collapsed. Unable to proceed." Nice.

Did you contribute that pack back?

gimme a minute to do some work stuff and I'll throw a little sample, 11labs howto + the source files online somewhere. check back to this thread in a while, i'll post it here. obviously the legal status of this is unclear, but i guess if you keep usage strictly personal it should be fine.

Finally someone doing actual good work with LLMs instead of “Claude, shit me out another useless SaaS”. Just as was foretold: an actual differentiator is creativity, not coding ability.

it's fun but PLEASE watch out for malicious code/supply chain attacks from random vibe-coded .sh scripts:

downloads other scripts (peon.sh, uninstall.sh) and executes them or places them where they will be executed later

edits your ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc files to add aliases and tab completion

parses a remote JSON file to get filenames ($sfile) and then does: curl ... -o "$INSTALL_DIR/packs/$pack/sounds/$sfile"

Agreed. Now I'm still waiting for someone to succeed at a clean-room recreation of Majel Barrett's voice, so we can finally have computers sound like they always should have. We could've been there a decade ago, but the high-quality audio samples, made officially and specifically with possibility of this use in mind, got trapped somewhere between the estate, producers, and a commercial interest that called dibs, and…

I just yeeted a bunch of extremely noisy fragments into elevenlabs, and it came out pretty good on their cheap $5 plan. If you're after this for your own amusement, let me know if you want a screencap, or a dump of the source files. Obv no clean room reconstruction but good enough for personal use...

I have lots of super high quality, clean audio recordings from her ripped from an old video game that she did voice work for. I've tried various TTS models over the years with it. Getting the pitch and tune is easy, but getting the impersonal detached robot-y feeling is kinda tricky. But I haven't tried in the past 6 months, so maybe it's time to give it another shot.

I would like WOPR's voice from Wargames.

For those like me who are not into Star Trek lore deep enough to recognize the name, she voiced the Star Trek computer in basically all the series .

I knew I had to add GLaDOS as soon as I saw this. Unfortunately, while testing my PR I realized there’s no support for Linux. Hopefully someone smarter than me can get that added sooner rather than later.

I am using piper-tts ( https://github.com/OHF-Voice/piper1-gpl ) with these voice files for GLaDOS: https://huggingface.co/rokeya71/VITS-Piper-GlaDOS-en-onnx/tr...

It is not perfect, but quite sufficient for simple system messages.
