same company, yes, but major updates since our demo:

1) Quality: the underlying model is much, much better, and so is the quality of the Voice Clone. 2) Productization: previously we just had a stand-alone demo, now we've launched the product (user accounts, multiple voices, etc.)

yours is a solid point -- would be nice to have that "wow factor" right off-the-bat

still getting the error? I can't replicate on MacOS Monterey

delicious documentation for your reading pleasure:)

thanks for linking -- the core project is indeed open source! the founding team all worked at Mozilla on TTS and DeepSpeech, then we spun out to create Coqui <3

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

Thanks, Neil :D The current model definitely does an "implicit" accent conversion to American English, but in the near future we'll have something that keeps accents on separate sides of the pond, so to speak :)

the voices are demoed for [videogames](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8tEdwll_CY&t=4s), [dubbing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBjdUY3_ccQ&t=1s), and [post-production](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykoBFrb9itY)... but I see your point - thanks!

thanks for flagging!

why don't you try :D ? Make a clone where you're talking like Hal... see how it does ;)

currently it's only user-facing, but still early days:)

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

thanks for flagging! what OS are you on? iOS seems working OK atm

For this zero-shot approach, there's actually no "fine-tuning", and from what we can tell ~30 seconds is optimal (the text isn't actually even used... you can say anything!)

For longer outputs and legit fine-tuning, that could become an offering :D

very much intentional.

Background music makes misuse/abuse less likely (both intentional and unintentional)
