Na to, že tím netopíte, je to celkem hodně. My máme dům 220m2, vše na elektřinu (topení, ohřev vody, vaření, filtraci bazénu, praní+sušení, teď už i auto) a jsme letos na 11,7 MWh. Když jsem byl single, měl jsem spotřebu v 70m2 bytě 1 MWh ročně. :)
Somewhere along the line developing Catima changed from "fun little hobby project where I can build an useful thing and have fun" to "oh God if I make a single mistake I risk 125 thousand people losing their data, I must not make any mistakes" and I do kinda miss the old vibe.
I mean it's amazing that my little hobby project got this many people to have just that tiny bit more privacy (yes, loyalty cards inherently are tracking but at least we reduce the trackers) but sheesh 😅
seem to remember a quote by the unknown Linus Torvalds, “just a hobby, [it] won’t be big and professional like GNU.”, how times change. Take care of yourself first!
OK, I am a lot more impressed with Supertonic than I thought. It has its own text processor that does some uncommon context text-based things like phone numbers, technical units, and financial stuff, that other commercial AI TTS engines like Eleven Labs, Gemini, Open AI, and Microsoft Azure don't do. And plus, unlike Sonata/Piper, it's not using eSpeak as a base.
Are you sure this is a text processor and not an end-to-end neural network?
If you train a neural net on human speech with plenty of examples of such patterns, it'll pick them up automatically, no special preprocessing necessary.
@miki The reason why I used the phrase "text processor" is because I don't know much about the inner workings of neural TTS engines, since I'm so used to talking about the more retro types for so long. I like almost all TTS engines, as long as they are intelligible and usable, from eSpeak to Supertonic, from Microsoft XP to Microsoft Azure.
@miki @Alex Krier When it comes to supertonic, I am unable to find out if it can handle other languages besides english and if it's doable to train in a homelab like environment similar to piper. Do you know some of these?
