Success!! I've completed a first reimplementation of Dr. Sbaitso voice synthesis in Godot!

Try it out at Itchio: https://eibriel.itch.io/scp-079-voice

Ive configure the accessibility settings so the app properly describes the input fields and buttons, but for some reason is not working for me (tested on Linux with Orca). Let me know if it works for you!

Some improvements to the concatenation, prosody is still missing.

Here is a well known phrase by SCP 079.

The audio contains the same phrase first performed by Dr. Sbaitso TTS and the by Godot reimplementation.

Dr. Sbaitso compared to my reimplementation in Godot (Sbaitso first) :computer_explorer: :pc_color:

Implemented: basic waveform concatenation
Missing: Interpolation, pitch control, prosody, text to phonemes

Im very happy with the progress, will be great to be able to run the voice without needing emulation.

What I've learned so far while reverse engineering Dr Sbaitso's voice:
- Reverse engineering is hard

Also, the voice was made by very clever people. It's optimized to sound as good as possible, while consuming very few resources.

Progress after 5 days: 10%

Designing with the KT142C voice chip? Remember, its user-accessible memory is 320KB. If your audio files are larger, you'll need a different solution.

The KT142F chip allows for an external Flash memory, letting you scale your voice storage capacity as needed. The trade-off is a slight increase in component cost and board space, but you gain total flexibility.

Ever wondered how AI voices are becoming so human-like? We've moved beyond simple "voice packs" (pre-recorded clips) to true AI "voice clones" that generate new speech from text.

The magic is in the details: AI models learn a voice's unique pitch and cadence. The secret sauce? "Emotional tuning," which adds happiness, sadness, or empathy to the performance. It's a game-changer for accessibility and content creation. #AIVoice #VoiceSynthesis #Tech

Project update: LingoFreq #Mandarin

Generates themed example sentences from language word-frequency list (Chinese HSK). Builds a printable book & (soon) voice audio files. This theme is "technology".

We'll be building this for #English & #Spanish.

Project update: LingoFreq - language learning tool

Goal: Create voice audio files of high-frequency Mandarin words & example sentences

Loads high-frequency #Mandarin #Chinese words from HSK CSV file into an #SQLite #database, using #Python. Then we loop over all the Mandarin words, and call to OpenAI ChatGPT to create simple example sentences. Next, we'll use ElevenLabs #VoiceSynthesis text-to-speech to vocalize the example sentences as audio files.

#Google, your automated service already told me that you're an automated service confirming our business hours. Don't patronize me by pretending to be a human. Why the bleep are you inserting artificial "um" and "sorry" and the like into your sentences? It doesn't fool me or make me feel better. #ai #voiceSynthesis

@mark I've been doing digging into #openSource text to speech lately. The best overall I have found is Piper (https://github.com/OHF-Voice/piper1-gpl), but being honest - the voices are not great.

To those in the know - Is there a ranked repository of better voices somewhere? How easy is it to create your own voices? - Using this for building language learning tools (#English, #Spanish, #Mandarin). Other TTS tools to consider?

OK, this is probably a rather long shot, but does anyone know of a voice synthesis model that is open-weights or ideally even open-source, and capable of producing intonation (specifically, something like rap lyrics)? #text2speech #voicesynthesis #ai
