       Four open source models exist right now that do something the previous generation struggled with. They do not just generate speech. They clone a voice from a short audio sample and produce output that is genuinely difficult to compare from the original speaker.The gap between open source and commercial TTS has been closing for a while. These four models suggest it has effectively closed for voice cloning specifically.https://firethering.com/open-source-tts-voice-cloning/#opensource #tts #ai #trending #texttospeech

       @fdroidorg You're right from a FLOSS perspective.The app is Apache 2.0 licensed and open source, but it may rely on components that don’t fully meet F-Droid’s FLOSS criteria.Appreciate the clarification 👍
