(Didn't carefully read your reply. What follows are the results of cat-ing a text file in the CLI. Will give the new textbox a whirl in the morning PDT. A truly heartfelt thanks for helping me work with Chatterbox TTS!)
Absolutely blown away.
I fed it the first page of Gibson's "Neuromancer" and your incantation worked like a charm. Thanks for the shell script pipe mojo.
Some other details:
- 3:01 (3 mins, 1 sec) of generated .wav took 4:28 to process
- running on M4 Max with 128GB RAM
- Chatterbox TTS inserted a few strange artifacts which sounded like air venting, machine whirring, and vehicles passing. Very odd and, oddly, apropos for cyberpunk.
- Chatterbox TTS managed to enunciate the dialog _as_ dialog, even going so far as to mimick an Australian accent where the speaker was identified as such. (This might be the effect of wishful listening.)
