Ability to import own trained Piper TTS models

[JohnF51]

I would like to ask if it would be possible to import Piper TTS onnx trained models? I'm working on some models because the current Czech and especially Slovak models are not very suitable. For Czech I can use xtts but unfortunately for Slovak there is no xtts.

Thank you for your reply

Piper-tts has issues with Mac OS ARM which is why we have been unable to integrate it into this...

Could you review the

"sk/cv/vits" model

built into coqui-tts?

https://github.com/idiap/coqui-ai-TTS

That would be the easiest for us to integrate as it's already within coqui-tts

If that one's good enough we'll look at adding it

You are also more than welcome to try using the now depreciated legacy (no longer supported) piper-tts ebook2audiobook variant I made like a year ago.

Unknown if the local install still works or not tho, The docker should still work tho

And you are unable to import custom piper-tts models in it it only comes with all the models that piper supports

if Piper TTS can be installed with the same python version of coqui-tts so why not.

[DrewThomasson]

I mean technically... I think its package requirements are mostly mutually exclusive and unique
to piper tts hm

[ROBERT-MCDOWELL]

by their versions? if yes so it's problematic

[DrewThomasson]

I'll have to get back to you on this once I double check

But also piper tts doesn't support voice cloning soooo eh :/

hmmm :(
