Character Driven Text-To-Speech Software from Z Vocal Project
As part of our research into vocal synthesis, we have released an open Beta for a text-to-speech program based on Piper. This program allows for basic speech synthesis in a variety of languages including English, Spanish, French, and Chinese. We are also working on getting Japanese working.
The program was made in only about a week, and there are a few more things we are going to try adding to it in the next couple months. The biggest thing being supporting a mouth open image for each voicebank’s banner. Patch notes can be read here.
Z Idol Talker’s output is meant to be used for funny internet videos and should not be used in large productions in place of a real voice actor. The program must not be used with voices trained on samples you don’t have the rights to, and the use of the program should be noted whenever possible.
You can not only use your own Piper models in the program but customize the UI to fit whatever theme you desire.
An example voicebank with the default UI assets, alongside a series of text and video tutorials will be released as soon as possible so please stay tuned!
