I've tried a few of these over the past few years. This is by far the most impressed I've been by the generated result. I'm actually an educator and have used these services in the past with students as an entry point into a discussion about technology, AI, and media ethics. Is there anyone I can reach out to at Coqui for a possible collaboration?

Same here. Not only the result is the best so far and instantly useable, the website is great to use and the fastest.

The voices do lose a bit of character and accent, though. On the other hand that makes my own voice much more useable. That's probably for the better, and good for video narration, audiobooks and marketing.

But I'm curious about the Video Game offering [1], where it says "You control the enunciation and emotion; the pitch and prosody; rate, duration, and contour". Is that planned for the future?

more fine-tuned control over enunciation/emotion and the like is very much in the works... stay tuned :)

of course! we've got an open ethics discussion going here: https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS/discussions/1036

and our chatrooms are probably the best/fastest way to get ahold of us: gitter.im/coqui-ai/TTS
