Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

OpenAI deems its voice cloning tool too risky for general release
lol this marketing technique is getting very old. https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS is already amazing and open source.

What things are happening in ML that we can't hear oer the din of LLMs?
Not sure how relevant this is but note that Coqui TTS (the realistic TTS) has already shut down

Base TTS (Amazon): The largest text-to-speech model to-date
I've used coqui.ai's TTS models[0] and library[1] to great success. I was able to get cloned voice to be rendered in about 80% of the audio clip length, and I believe you can also stream the response. Do note the model license for XTTS, it is one they wrote themselves that has some restrictions.

Coqui.ai Is Shutting Down
My only exposure to Coqui was their text to speech software. If I remember correctly the website was a commercialized service with TTS and probably some other related things. I hope the software work continues in the open.

Hello guys, any selfhosted alternative to eleven labs?

Demo of Anagnorisis - completely local recommendation system powered by Llama 2. Radio mode. Work in progress.
"tts_models/multilingual/multi-dataset/xtts_v2" model from https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS. It gives pretty good results and works with references, so it's pretty easy to change the voice. By the way the source code of the project is open: https://github.com/volotat/Anagnorisis but be ready, the code is pretty raw for now.

XTTS voice cloning with only a seconds of audio
A recent update to their GitHub also has a no-code gradio ui to facilitate fine-tuning and inferencing locally. https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS/releases/tag/v0.21.3

OpenAI's Whisper is another case study in Colonisation
Mozillas Common Voice Project (https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/) is creating an open dataset for many minority languages to make it easier to support them in STT systems. If you speak one of these languages please consider donating a few minutes of your voice.

Common Voice
> it was not at all obvious to me there was some way of speeding up getting a language in the first place.
Yeah, that's the biggest failing of Common Voice in my opinion. Getting a new language up to speed could be much improved by simply adding a few links to documentation, but even the existing links are broken, which I reported in March 2022... https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice/issues/3637
> I have no interest in wasting time contributing to a UI translation I actively don't want to be subjected to
Translating the UI may still help you get other people to record, even if you don't want to use it yourself.
> I'll see if I can submit some sentences at least
If you want to go faster, there's also a project to extract sentences from Wikipedia etc. in small doses Mozilla's lawyers and Wikimedia's lawyers have agreed are fair use. I think you'd only need to define how Norwegian Bokmål separates sentences. (E.g. after a period but not if it's a common abbreviation like "etc." in the preceding sentence.)

Web Speech API is (still) broken on Linux circa 2023
There is a lot of TTS and SST development going on (https://github.com/mozilla/TTS; https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech; https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice). That is the only way they work: Contributions from the wild.

Web Speech API is not available in the Quest browser
Since you're interested in STT and TTS, let me just plug in Mozilla's Common Voice, a way for everyone to contribute to an open source data set for STT. You can record yourself or verify other people's recordings!

Ask HN: Open-source video transcribing software?
How can it be used for transcription?
In their website I only see an interface for either uploading audio or submitting transcriptions:
https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/es
The Github repo they mention (https://github.com/common-voice/common-voice) seems to be just that sample collection software. I do not see where I can download the software to transcribe audio.

[D] Will continuous model development inevitably lead to data leakage and overfitting?
A practical example: in the speech community, getting good results on datasets such as TIMITwould not be revolutionary, since it's super small and very old. On the contrary, things like Common Voice (which is constantly crowd-sourced) would be much more impactful. Just my two cents :)
