If somebody is trying this right now, with the current pre-release (2023.11.14-2), you'll need to add also the model config file's path to the command, or it won't work (and the worst thing is that you won't get an error message, so you won't know what's happening ^^U). Here's an example of what you'll need to input for it to work: echo "Hello, this is a test using Piper TTS." | piper.exe -m en_US-kathleen-low.onnx -c en_en_US_kathleen_low_en_US-kathleen-low.onnx.json -f test1.wav As always, thank you very much for your great videos! :D

@@ThorstenMueller I have now experimented with it and realised that Piper is really much more advanced than Mimic3.

Helo sir, thank you I already practice with this tutorial, succes i can make voice. wtih this TTS. I have question. write what letters or what code in the txt file, to produce a pause in the voice results. For example, I have 2 paragraphs in the text file, but between the paragraphs I want there to be a 3 second pause in the voice results. So in the audio voice file, he reads paragraph 1, then pauses 3 seconds, then reads the second paragraph again. in this example, I place code DDDD. ( but audio result , say DDDD , I want result a pause 3 second on code DDDD ) The story begins with a spaceship returning to Earth. However, the spacecraft encounters an error, causing it to crash into a forest in Malaysia. DDDD The spaceship belongs to a company called Life Foundation, led by an ambitious man named Drake. The spaceship was carrying samples of extraterrestrial life, prompting Drake to urge his team to quickly gather all the salvageable samples. DDDD Out of all the crew members found, only the pilot survived. Medical personnel quickly transported him to an ambulance. However, suddenly... DDDD Yes, an entity possessed the pilot's body and then transferred to a medical staff member. The entity saw the Life Foundation logo and intended to go to the company's location. DDDD Upon arriving at the outskirts of the city, the entity possessing the medical staff member grabbed a catfish and ate it alive, terrifying everyone around. Eventually, the local thugs approached to confront the entity. But... DDDD Feeling that its current host was no longer suitable, the entity transferred to the body of an elderly woman, instantly revitalizing her. The entity then headed to the airport to find another host bound for America, which happened to be a little girl. And thus, Venom begins.

I saw this in the github repo --length_scale 1.0 (this is the default speed, lower value = faster) after model name.

I didn't try it, but according to some Github issues there seems to be a "--cuda" argument. Did you try that?

how can use Coqui-ai with langauge arabic
@ThorstenMueller
10 ай бұрын
Should work in general. I'm not sure if there's any arabic model available yet. You can see all models here: github.com/coqui-ai/TTS/blob/dev/TTS/.models.json Maybe it's worth to ask on their community for arabic support.

After literally wasting "hours" of trying to make it work, on different Windows system, trying all the switches, options, way to use them, its a total failure to a point. Fuck this garbage and fuck whoever did this awful Windows port.

It always amazes me how entitled some people feel about things they get for free. It worked flawlessly for me, but depending on the model you downloaded, if the config filename doesn't match the model filename, you might have to manually specify it.

Hi thorsten is this still working because when i run this command "echo "Hello, this is a test using Piper TTS." | .\piper.exe -m en_US-kathleen-low.onnx -f test1.wav" there is no output

Should still work as explained. Is there any error message or just no audio output?

Make sure that your config file has the same name as the model file. I noticed that all the ones I've downloaded so far have duplicated filenames, like "en_en_US_kathleen_low_en_US-kathleen-low.onnx.json". Either rename the config file to match the model file, or manually specify it with the --config trigger.

Not sure where I went wrong. echo 'Welcome to the world of speech synthesis!' | ./piper.exe --model en_US-lessac-medium.onnx --output_file welcome.wav has no output on windows it does something for a second but no output in the shell or in the folder. I have powershell open inside of the directory that I extracted the zip file to. ./piper.exe --help does work

Look in the comments, someone mentions for the latest updates you also need to add -config (and config file)
@ThorstenMueller

Thanks for your comment and reply 😊. Normally piper should detect config file automatically if their name is identical to model file (+ json) if it's in the same directory. Does it generate audio then or still produce no output?

@@ThorstenMuellerI finally found the issue after getting it to work on another computer. The model files I downloaded corrupted at some point. After redownloading them it works.

So, I have just given this a go, followed all the steps, running Powershell as Administrator and it wouldn't produce just goes back to C:\Ai\piper folder... C:\Ai\piper> echo "Hello this is a test of piper TTS." Hello this is a test of piper TTS. C:\Ai\piper> echo "Hello this is a test of piper TTS." | .\piper.exe -m .\en_US-lessac-high.onnx -f test1.wav C:\Ai\piper> And that's it, tried with multiple voices, read through the comments saying you also need to use the model, so have the model in the folder as well tried with Kathleen low voice as well using the command in the description for her voice C:\Ai\piper> echo "Hello, this is a test using Piper TTS." | .\piper.exe -m en_US-kathleen-low.onnx -c en_en_US_kathleen_low_en_US-kathleen-low.onnx.json -f test1.wav C:\Ai\piper> Nada. Other issue is, even if it did somehow work, it's a lot of faffing around just for a line of audio. Just want to be able to clone my voice and my friends voice from prerecorded clean audio, and be able to produce a podcast without us actually having to do any talking. I don't think Piper is going to be the answer on this one, Tried Tortoise TTs, it was ok, but outputs were generally either quite a way off, or different pitches altogether, want something like Tortoise TTs that is user friendly, but one that actually works. What do you suggest, has to be locally, not paying anyone like Elevenlabs. Can do it all on my gaming computer.
