  2. So I really wonder if there is any, / are several, hubs for finding new piper voices? Sure, the lib in the app or nvda addon has a few, sometimes peple here on mastodon train 1 or 2, but I'd like to find more unique ones more easily rather than sticking to what the library has and maybe 1 or 2 external models. So if anyone knows websites for it, do let me know. Looking for more natural stuff, rather than tts replicas or low quality models if possible.

  3. Kahului PHOG → Hana PHHN

    Since I was already in Hawaii and had flown over Mauna Kea in the Cessna 172 (see previous post), it made sense to also fly over Haleakalā on the neighbouring island of Maui. With the well-powered Super Cub, it didn't take long to reach 13,000 ft for enjoying the fantastic view.

  4. Ever wonder what it costs for all those billionaires to get around in their big bizjets?

    Here's an ad from a fuel discount provider showing you can save $5,115 when you use their service and fill your Gulfstream G650 to HALF FULL.

    If this is just the SAVINGS, imagine what the total fuel bill must have been.

    Yeah, and I used to bitch when it cost over $200 to fill the four tanks of my #Piper #Cherokee 235 (84 gallons).

  9. Now that Piper TTS has made it to iOS and is relatively stable on newer devices, I'd like to create a Community hub of sorts, where people can upload voices they've created for it. To go along with this, I'd like to release some kind of training utility to make the process a little less scary for people who don't code regularly. Is this something you would be interested in?

    My goal with this is to release more high-quality voices than what's currently available, many of the issues people see with Piper simply come down to the data used for training not being up to a professional standard. Honestly I think the main issue will be data collection, I have absolutely no interest in scraping from the web or using unlicensed data to train like many of these other open source TTS projects.
