Sweet. I’ll see if I can get working later on. Maybe I missed it, how much RAM is required for this?
I thought about creating something like this some time ago, guess I should think less and do more
Looks like cuda or cpu, and i just bought a radeon card.
Does ZLUDA help here?
I’m curious enough to try this.
Audiobooks are made or broken by the quality of the narration. It’s not enough to simply narrate written word, the narrator has to “act” as well. Given the quality of other arts engaged by AI I’m going into this skeptical.
You should give Ender’s Game a listen, the one narrated by Harlan Ellison and Stefan Rudnicki (I borrowed from my local library). The performance is excellent.
Interesting. Just a couple of years ago AI generated audiobooks were unlistenable for me due to the dead voice delivery but the example here actually sounds like it would be alright to listen to.
Definitely want to give this a try for some books that have never had an audio book recording. Thanks for posting!
Been hoping for something like this. Hello waiting ebooks!
I’ll give it a shot.
I tried something similar a year or so ago with my own script. What I found was, the longer the book, the harder the ai has on having the same voice.
I eventually got around this limitation by using piper. https://github.com/rhasspy/piper
It was good enough for my purposes. But it definitely sounded mechanical.
Let me know if it’s worth the time.
For sure, just give me a nudge as I may forget to come back haha. I’ll try it out tonight if I get a chance.
