NetEase Youdao Open-Sources EmotiVoice: A Powerful and Modern Text-to-Speech Engine
NetEase Youdao has officially released an open-source text-to-speech (TTS) engine called “Yi Mo Sheng”. This engine, available on GitHub, offers web and script interfaces that allow for batch generation of results, making it perfect for applications that require emotional synthesis of voices.
Youdao’s text-to-speech engine supports both Chinese and English languages and offers more than 2,000 unique voices. It also includes a one-of-a-kind emotion synthesis feature that can generate speech with various emotions like joy, excitement, sadness, or anger.
EmotiVoice, the leading open-source text-to-speech engine, is worth mentioning in this context. With over 2,000 voices available in English and Chinese, EmotiVoice stands out for its emotional synthesis capabilities, enabling speech generation with a wide range of emotions, including happiness, eagerness, sadness, and fury.
EmotiVoice provides a user-friendly online interface and allows for bulk generation of results through a scripting interface. Testing out EmotiVoice is made easy with Docker images. However, please note that an NVidia graphics processing unit is required, and you should install the NVidia container toolkit on Linux or Windows WSL2 if you haven’t done so already.
In the current system, prompts play a crucial role in influencing user emotions and actions. EmotiVoice emphasizes tone, tempo, intensity, and passion over gender. If desired, a style/timbre controller, similar to the original closed-source design, can be added easily.
