To Bridge the Gap Until the Official Audiobooks Are Released I Tried Making a Myne TTS [P5V5]
So I looked around and decided to use Bark Infinity. (Originally wanted to use Amazon Polly, but don't have a credit card) I tried around and found out that the female storyteller voice sounds quite decently. So I used that and a reference clip of Myne's voice as prompt (which I think might have helped a little... I don't get all that program's features) to generate a whole chapter. That worked quite well.

AI-generated voice. I'll have to try Bark Infinity and Speechify.

Bark: A transformer based text to audio system
I'll link my Bark fork with long audio generation and other features on the root thread, I suppose: https://github.com/JonathanFly/bark
There's going to be a big update this week with some new stuff I haven't talked about. And a bunch of amazing, clear voices, with a huge variety of styles, that blow the default Suno voices out of the water.
Don't get too attached though. I was just playing around and made a Bark fork and it got more popular than expected. But I wasn't thinking about the hours of unpaid support and maintenance in my future that I definitely can NOT afford, for software I don't even really have a personal use case for. I'm not generating my own audiobooks or anything, I won’t be using it long term myself, I was just curious what Bark could do. (Turns out a LOT more than you might think at first glance, as you'll see this week.) So I'm trying to work out how I can elegantly wind this down and transition people somewhere else. But I'll keep it updated for at least a little while.

Weird A.I. Yankovic, a cursed deep dive into the world of voice cloning
I doubt it's currently actually "the best open source text to speech", but the answer I came up with when throwing a couple of hours at the problem some months ago was "Silero" [0, 1].
Following the "standalone" guide [2], it was pretty trivial to make the model render my sample text in about 100 English "voices" (many of which were similar to each other, and in varying quality). Sampling those, I got about 10 that were pretty "good". And maybe 6 that were the "best ones" (pretty natural, not annoying to listen to).
IIRC the license was free for noncommercial use only. I'm not sure exactly "how open source" they are, but it was simple to install the dependencies and write the basic Python to try it out; I had to write a for loop to try all the voices like I wanted. I ended using something else for the project for other reasons, but this could still be fairly good backup option for some use cases IMO.

Glados was the first experiment. I moved on to silero afterwards: https://github.com/snakers4/silero-models

Ask HN: Open-source video transcribing software?
Some months ago I tried the Silero Models: https://github.com/snakers4/silero-models
With the audio sources I had, in English, the transcription had many mistakes. The good side is that installing and running the software worked as described in their documentation, so maybe it’s worth giving it a try by yourself.
