AI Voices

Hello,

I'm currently working in a script that reads the messages NPCs send you each of them with a different voice.
I use Spanish and there isn't a lot of voices to choose from, so the messages repeats the same voices too often.

I came across this Piper project. It a project to use locally AI generated voices for TTS.
These new AI voices open up a range of possibilities to choose from.
It looks promising and I wonder if it can be used with EDDI.

Also, the quality of this voices are greater than most of the Windows native voices (The only one that is decent enough, and the one that I use for my personality, is Cortana's voice).

At the moment it doesn't create a system voice (SAPI) that can be used directly with EDDI, and I don't know if that feature will ever exists, but right now I think it can be used with EDDI with minor changes (just my guess, I'm not a professional programmer).

I leave the link to the project here for the masters take a look:

Have a nice day. o7
