Give this a try. You can run it locally if you have a good enough GPU. It is pretty slow at generation tho

I've tried this and it took ~5 minutes to generate 10 seconds of studio on my 3080. That just doesn't work if you're trying to generate an hour long podcast.

That sounds way too slow, just go with lowest or the second lowest quality. I think even the lowest quality works just as well.

Also you can rent a GPU on vastai or runpod, go with 3090 which should cost like 0.29 or even 0.15 if you go with spot pods.

Also there's this which offers a speedup to normal tortoise: https://github.com/152334H/tortoise-tts-fast
