> <i>Working with Heather Meeker, world-leading expert on open source licenses, Coqui has created a new, innovative model license, the Coqui Public Model License (CPML), and XTTS will be the first ever model released under the CPML! You can read more about the Coqui Public Model License (CPML) here.</i><p>Followed the link. The CPML has restrictions that make it a proprietary license, decidedly not open source/free software.<p>Using the term "open source" in that paragraph is deceptive. Combined with the GitHub link, this leads me to believe this is just more open source cosplay.
XTTS, the production-quality TTS model from Coqui, is released<p>- Multilingual: Generates speech in 13 different languages<p>- Voice cloning with 3 seconds of audio<p>- Cross language voice cloning as well<p>- 24khz quality<p>- Blog: <a href="https://coqui.ai/blog/tts/open_xtts" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://coqui.ai/blog/tts/open_xtts</a><p>- Demo: <a href="https://huggingface.co/spaces/coqui/xtts" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://huggingface.co/spaces/coqui/xtts</a><p>- Model: <a href="https://huggingface.co/coqui/XTTS-v1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://huggingface.co/coqui/XTTS-v1</a>
This whole thing is so easy to use. Pip install or docker installer, start little flask app and you are good to go.<p>The speech output of this tool is as good as I have ever heard. I am looking forward to sending this to my ESP32 remote audio player.<p>What a world we live in!
