completely blind computer geek, lover of science fiction and fantasy (especially LitRPG). I work in accessibility, but my opinions are my own, not that of my employer. Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those.

@Tamasg It returns samples by default. I'm just using a python library to write them to a file.

@cachondo @SeveraSnape @FreakyFwoof Yeah, and get fanficfare configured on a server somewhere. It can monitor an imap account, find emails from FF and AO3, and auto-update your epub files.

@FreakyFwoof @SeveraSnape @cachondo It's a Harry/Hermione fluff fic, so probably something you'd both enjoy. I'm surprised you don't already have it. Harry Potter and the Art of Getting Your Shit Together

@tspivey Yeah, I can tell. TonyML's earcons addon also breaks a bunch of the features rofl.

@cachondo @tspivey Sounds like when I discovered my boss had never heard the word cogitate. Native English speaker, with a masters degree. Go figure.

@tspivey Yeah, I'm increasingly convinced that @x0 is correct, and this would need to be part of Sonata if this was going to happen at all. They seem to have solved those issues mostly.

@tspivey So if I cursor up onto a line with fifty thousand characters, that's why it just dies. Ah.

@tspivey Also, how does NVDA chunk text it passes to a synth? Even that's not really documented anywhere LOL. I think Kokoro inference would need running in its own thread, so the thread could be killed when we wanted to stop speech rather than generating extra samples, and a knew thread could be started so you could start the new speech quickly, like when someone's pressing down arrow rapidly. But I don't have the time, and I'm not smart enough.

@tspivey That's why you start a session, so the model stays loaded in memory. Then I think you can actually stream output from onnxruntime bite by bite, I'm just not sure how.

@tspivey Hmmm, I assumed that was just because I was passing an enormous text block with multiple sentences. Hadn't tested with single sentences yet.

@tspivey Wouldn't you just stop playing the samples it gave you?

Yeah, I am deeply confused about how buffers work and how to indicate when speaking is complete and do indexing and so-on. If this is going to be an addon, someone else will have to do it.

For the curious, here are all the available Kokoro English voices reading the same text: share.interfree.ca/app/open/3ca2Pb7oiFL-4PXSMD6qMeT-Pb1wqmSJyid-NP7MAAJS12s?view=1

@cachondo So looking at it, it looks like it just uses the phonemes generated by espeak, and passes those to the natural voices. So if you use a voice trained on American English, and ask for en-gb, it'll do it anyway and sound terrible.
