Other Voice Model (Text-To-Speech, Neural Network based)

Thanks to some good feedback from @JimjackS0N I have updated the instructions. This will avoid some potential problems when installing the app, which some people experienced.

Hi everyone,

It took me another long time, but I've been cleaning up the source audio, using some custom scripts I created myself. Long story short, I fixed the "pitch' of the source material to all be in the same range, and the "breath" noises due to inhaling air before speaking have been removed. After that I retrained the model on this improved source data. It improved the quality of the model by a lot.

Improvements:

• Less raspy, cleaner audio
• No more sudden pitch drops (male sounding voice)
• Doing two sentences in one prompt (sentences separated by a . ) works a lot better (the old model would generate garbage if you did that)

Installation instructions:

• See the original instructions
• Download the "VAM Voice Model v2.zip" from mega unzip it in the "models" directory. You should end up with YOUR_PATH/data/models/VAM Voice Model v2.0/checkpoint_510426
