This is fantastic. I've tried a lot of text-to-speech tools before, but they all charge per character or per word and for something like long-form videos or podcasting, that pricing adds up fast. It ends up costing way more than just hiring a human voice, which defeats the whole purpose.
What I really wanted was an open-source solution I could run on my own PC something that gives full control without the per-word billing. Watched the tutorial to set it up myself, and honestly, this is exactly it. No words for how good this is.
Thank you for making this open source.
I've been a fan of your other open-source work too : WP Launcher, the open-source community projects, Elementor MCP and now this.
You keep delivering for the self-hosting/open-source crowd, and it means a lot. 🙏
I also follow a few other mentors from Pakistan : GFX Mentor, Ahmad Awais, Faraz — and you're right up there with them.
All of you have done so much for beginners in the community. Hats off to all of you. 🙌
would love a built-in voice cloning feature so i can record a short sample and have the studio generate speech in my own voice across all the supported engines
@hatunkeski92266 That's fully implemented, you can upload yor own custom voices in the left panel.
Would love to see a built-in voice preset sharing option, like being able to export a fine-tuned voice config as a small file so other users can drop it in and get the same result. Would make collaboration way easier.
@rbecerir62672 That's a geat idea, can you open an issue on the GitHub? https://github.com/msrbuilds/voice-studio/issues
finally a tts studio that actually works offline without weird setup hoops, kokoro sounds surprisingly natural and the whisper transcription is honestly better than i expected
@fcalapverd79575 Gald to know that it works for you :)
Congrats on the Voice Studio launch! It looks super promising and exciting. 🚀
@zvonimir_sabljic1 Thank you 🙌
the fact that everything runs fully offline with so many engines bundled into one clean studio is honestly impressive, love that whisper transcription is included too
@ekindzalannnbs Tried my best, spent weeks fine tuning it. More engines, models, and features will come soon.
Running everything locally with that many engines in one clean studio is a real feat, especially the Whisper integration feels thoughtfully wired in rather than tacked on.
@gzdegalerinpu0 Thank you 🙌
