I’m using https://github.com/rhasspy/piper mostly to create some audiobooks and read some posts/news, but the voices available are not always comfortable to listen to.
Do you guys have any recommendation for a voice changer to process these audio files?
Preferably it’ll have a CLI so I can include it in my pipeline to process RSS feeds, but I don’t mind having to work through an UI.
Bonus points if it can process the audio streams.
Text to speech is what piper is doing.
What I’m looking for is called voice changer since I want to change a voice which already read something.
That’s exactly what I want: “the thing in the Darth Vader halloween masks” but for linux, preferably via CLI to ingest audio files and be able to configure it to change the voice as I want, not only Darth Vader.
Oh, I see. I think it would still be easier to either use a different voice in piper (the github page talks about this) or use a different tts program entirely.
So, all of the awkward pauses, the lack of inflection - you’re saying keep those, just change who it sounds like is speaking?
