Ask HN: Open-source, local Text-to-Speech (TTS) generators
I just noticed that https://coqui.ai/ is "Shutting down".
I'm building a web app (React / Django) which takes a list of affirmations & goals (in Markdown files), puts them into a database (SQlite), and uses voice synthesis to create voice audio files of the phrases. These are combined with a relaxed backing track (ffmpeg), made into playlists of 10-20 phrases (randomly sampled, or according to a theme: "mind" "body" "soul") and then play automatically in the morning & evening (cron). This allows you to persistently hear & vocalize your own goals & good vibes over time.
I had been planning to use Coqui TTS as the local text-to-speech engine, but with this cancellation, I'd love to hear from the community what is a great open-source, local text-to-speech engine?
Generally, I learn both the highest quality commercially available technology (example: ElevenLabs), and also the best open-source equivalent. Would love to hear suggestions & perspectives on this. What voice synth tools are you investing your time into learning & building with?

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.

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.
