Ask HN: How to run Piper text-to-speech on a Mac (using Docker)?

1 pointsby dv35z11 months ago
Hello HN -<p>My goal is to have a high-quality open-source text-to-speech engine running on my Mac. Research has led me to evaluate Piper TTS (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rhasspy&#x2F;piper">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rhasspy&#x2F;piper</a>) - the voices sound good, and it can run on a RaspberryPi. There seems to be a blocker in getting it to run directly on a Mac (this person explains why: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=hQe861JElXc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=hQe861JElXc</a>).<p>So, I&#x27;ve been trying to get Piper to run in a Docker container on my Mac.<p>I&#x27;ve spent all evening trying to get this to work, and haven&#x27;t succeeded. I can&#x27;t seem to get the right incantation of Docker files &amp; compose.yml to get it running.<p>Who&#x27;s been able to get Piper running locally in a Docker container, and can you share guidance?<p>Here are my working notes for Piper &amp; Docker: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jonathan.rogivue.net&#x2F;notes&#x2F;piper-text-to-speech&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jonathan.rogivue.net&#x2F;notes&#x2F;piper-text-to-speech&#x2F;</a><p>Thank you!
