Simpler TTS alternative (not issue but no other way to post) #9

I found this TTS project and thought it might be a valid option for more realistic locally hosted TTS: https://github.com/suno-ai/bark

It can be installed via pip and used in 5 lines of code. Though performance is a factor I haven't tested and potentially a downside, it sounds like it could be a neat consideration.

Hey, sorry for late response. I'm taking some time off from this project. I'll look into that, it sounds really expressive and supports multiple languages too. Anyway currently the project supports TTS for voice duplication, IBM Cloud, ElevenLabs and Pyttsx3 so the real challenge is to find a way to handle all the options in a smart way. It might come in action as a multilanguage alternative to Elevenlabs but their voices sounds much better.
