This is amazing! If you are looking for US EN and use a phone with arm64 I can recommend sherpa-onnx-1.10.27-arm64-v8a-en-tts-vits-piper-en_US-kristin-medium and sherpa-onnx-1.10.27-arm64-v8a-en-tts-vits-piper-en_US-norman-medium.
Edit: I don't seem to be able to get the engine to show up as a tts engine but it works well within the tts app itself. Hopefully I'll find a fix I've been searching for a good tts engine for android eBook apps.
Edit 2. Fixed I mistakenly downloaded the standalone version from https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk.html instead of https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk-engine.html
These names are a joke hahaha
Yeah IMO they need an app that can download/manage models directly
That would then require running code from memory, which needs to be enabled in recent GrapheneOS. But all fine, they should absolutely do that as they obviously do that currently but during compilation.
Client app + wizard to select language and model type + downloaded model
You are clearly not the target audience then. There is a lot of extremely useful info in those model names.
Yes of course :) I use
sherpa-onnx-1.10.26-arm64-v8a-de-tts-engine-vits-piper-de_DE-thorsten-medium
and there is nothing irrelevant in that name.Still after another commenter wrote how overwhelmed they are with that INSANE download page, I felt that when you dropped those 2 names
Yes they have 3 types of client apps
