Comment on BASE TTS: The largest text-to-speech model to-date

Comments

Awhile ago, when amazon had its text limited but unlimited free use of its neural tts, I was converting an ebook to audiobook, it was amazing how it could sound so lifelike and inflections of the voice. Amazing.

Amazon really had the best sounding TTS I've seen compared to paid microsoft and google. Hands down better. But technology is getting better for opensource, I'd expect in a year or 2, home use will be on par in quality with paid services.

I cant wait for realtime video translate, so shows with non-english subs can be translated into english speech. You can do it now with some services, upload a video and lang/voice/mouth will convert to any language.
