Description

This repository is written primarily in Chinese. While I understand and respect language diversity, it's a common practice in the open-source community to use English as the default language, especially for projects with potential global reach. This practice helps share ideas freely across a wider audience.

This raises concerns over transparency, I am cautious about running software from regions with less transparency on local systems, even in an offline virtual machine environment. Especially pertinent with software that has access to audio or other sensitive data.

Request:

Could someone please provide more context or direct me to reliable sources or white papers that explain the methods and design of this repository? I've read articles like "Understanding RVC - Retrieval-based Voice Conversion", but they don't address my primary concern: why should I trust this code not to perform any unintended or malicious actions on my system?

Thank you for any guidance on this matter.
