I made a ChatGPT virtual assistant that you can talk to
I call it DaVinci. DaVinci uses Picovoice (https://picovoice.ai/) solutions for wake word and voice activity detection and for converting speech to text, Amazon Polly to convert its responses into a natural sounding voice, and OpenAI’s GPT 3.5 to do the heavy lifting. It’s all contained in about 300 lines of Python code.

What does "end-to-end" mean?
I sometimes see the term "end-to-end", and it always passes right by my ears as marketing jargon. For example, there was a recent post today that linked to this page: https://picovoice.ai/, and you'll find the statement "... end-to-end platform for adding voice to anything on your terms". I did a quick Google search and it seems like the term is used in many different contexts (e.g., encryption, enterprise software for product development, etc.), but to be honest, I'm just not getting it. Maybe someone can explain here within the realm of embedded software? Could you provide some examples as well?

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.

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.
