Top 23 text-to-speech Open-Source Projects

  • MockingBird

    • Project mention: OpenAI deems its voice cloning tool too risky for general release | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-31

    lol this marketing technique is getting very old. https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS is already amazing and open source.

  • InfluxDB

  • OpenVoice

    • Project mention: Ask HN: Voice ID adoption at financial institutions | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-03

    Given the inevitability of easy voice cloning[1], it seems irresponsible to be using voice as a positive authentication signal.

    Unfortunately, major US financial institutions seem to be ramping up adoption of this technology[2].

    Am I missing something?

    🧠 Leon is your open-source personal assistant.

    • Project mention: Rabbit R1, Designed by Teenage Engineering | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-09

    It's indeed suspicious. You're sending your voice samples, your various services accounts, your location and more private data to some proprietary black box in some public cloud. Sorry, but this is a privacy nightmare. It should be open source and self-hosted like Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai) or Leon (https://getleon.ai) to be trustworthy.

  • TTS

    :robot: :speech_balloon: Deep learning for Text to Speech (Discussion forum: https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/tts) (by mozilla)

    • Project mention: Coqui.ai Is Shutting Down | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-03

    Coqui-ai was a commercial continuation of Mozilla TTS and STT (https://github.com/mozilla/TTS).

    At the time (2018-ish), it was really impressive for on-device voice synthesis (with a quality approaching the Google and Azure cloud-based voice synthesis options) and open source, so a lot of people in the FOSS community were hoping it could be used for a privacy-respecting home assistant, Linux speech synthesis that doesn't suck, etc.

    After Mozilla abandoned the project, Coqui continued development and had some really impressive one-shot voice cloning, but pivoted to marketing speech synthesis for game developers. They were probably having trouble monetizing it, and it doesn't surprise me that they shut down.

    An equivalent project that's still in active development and doing really well is Piper TTS (https://github.com/rhasspy/piper).

  • silero-models

    Silero Models: pre-trained speech-to-text, text-to-speech and text-enhancement models made embarrassingly simple

    • Project mention: Weird A.I. Yankovic, a cursed deep dive into the world of voice cloning | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-02

    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.

    If you're not already aware, the primary developer of Mimic 3 (and its non-Mimic predecessor Larynx) continued TTS-related development with Larynx and the renamed project Piper: https://github.com/rhasspy/piper

    Last year Piper development was supported by Nabu Casa for their "Year of Voice" project for Home Assistant and it sounds like Mike Hansen is going to continue on it with their support this year.

    • Project mention: Ask HN: On-Device Text to Speech | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-31

    Hey HN, has anyone found a viable solution for doing this locally and offline on iOS? I'd like to offer a privacy-friendly text to speech feature to my App, and Apple's speech synthesis sounds awful compared to some newer models and TTS engines. The only thing I've found is an older TensorflowTTS example here: https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowTTS/tree/master/examples/ios

    Any pointers or tips appreciated.

  • edge-tts

    Use Microsoft Edge's online text-to-speech service from Python WITHOUT needing Microsoft Edge or Windows or an API key

    • Project mention: [discussion] text to voice generation for textbooks (non-math part) | /r/MachineLearning | 2023-12-01

    i would very much like to use it to turn the text parts of a book into an audio where i could listen to it while reading. i used edge's tts for speech by giving a paragraph to clipboard and to edge-tts in order to listen the text but it causes two problems: 1. you need internet connection and have the book opened 2. can only do paragraph by paragraph, and is prone to errors or sometimes if you use it too much it wont convert the full text afterwards.

  • Awesome-Prompt-Engineering

    This repository contains a hand-curated resources for Prompt Engineering with a focus on Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), ChatGPT, PaLM etc

    • Project mention: AI lessons | /r/ChatGPT | 2023-05-09

    Yes, there are a lot of different resources online, especially for generative AI. The Awesome Prompt Engineering github is probably a good place to start https://github.com/promptslab/Awesome-Prompt-Engineering. If you're focusing directly on OpenAI's models then the OpenAI Prompt Engineering Guide would be my recommendation https://help.openai.com/en/articles/6654000-best-practices-for-prompt-engineering-with-openai-api.

    • Project mention: IAMA senior javascript dev, ask me anything | /r/learnjavascript | 2023-07-01

    I'm skeptical about a senior JavaScript developer claiming to be bored. Nonetheless, let's see. How would you go about modifying [this](ng/blob/master/emscripten/espeakng_glue.idl) IDL file, this C++ glue code, and the relevant Make file to compile eSpeak NG to JavaScript with Emscripten with SSML support enabled?
