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, in the mean time, for languages like Japanese and Korean you can use the crosslingual capabilities mentioned in the vb creation guide..
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.
NEW FEATURES IN v.1.1.0β
An example voicebank with the default UI assets is available on the download page. A series of text and video tutorials will be released as soon as possible so please stay tuned!

As of January 2024 we have decided to take down voicebanks not trained by Z Vocal Project to give us more freedom when it comes to the engine, and to ensure all voicebanks we distribute were sourced ethically.
This means that the external piper models we formatted for use in Z Idol Talker have been taken down. If you downloaded any of these voicebanks, we kindly ask you to delete them instead of trying to preserve them.
