Are there any free/open-source TTS options out there that are on the same level as Google Cloud’s? I tried a lot of free ones, but they are absolutely awful and still sound like my Amiga did 30 years ago. With LLMs being available as open source, I am hoping there’s also a good TTS offering I just haven’t found yet.

    Ah, I looked at Tortoise, but I do not have an nVidia GPU, so I couldn’t try it.

    I use it on an AMD GPU.

    EDIT: Wait, let me make sure. I was using an Nvidia GPU for a while and switched to AMD.

    EDIT2: Oh, yeah, it uses transformers, and that doesn’t work on rocm presently, IIRC.
