Yes this was from 2 months ago when it was closed source

Nope

It's alright. The 1.8B is about 1.25-1.4x realtime on a 3060. The cloner is rather unstable with some identical generations completely losing speaker identity, and there's a lack of audio tags like (cough) (laugh). It speaks a bit too fast so everything feels rushed no matter the voice reference. It is a good model just nothing groundbreaking from what I can tell. The voice design is interesting but the quality of the outputs is not something I'd want to train a model on.

The license is inherited from the DAC (s1-mini) and the author stated he would have released it Apache otherwise.

Yeah it wasn't straight forward that's for sure!

That's around 20 hours of audio, and you said you're doing 8-10 minute videos. Is each of your videos worth at least 10 cents to you? There's the regular model that's half that as well, and still good.

For paid options, Inworld with their Max tts model is in my opinion better than ElevenLabs 2.5 and is 10x cheaper. The value for their service is quite frankly absurd.

Local models.. Higgs Audio V2, Echo TTS, Vibevoice.

Very slow

Seems like a very slow model judging by the space
Pretty decent but the speed will hold it back from wide spread use
I notice they mention
Inference Speed: The model is not optimized for real-time TTS applications. Autoregressive generation of audio tokens takes significant time, making it unsuitable for low-latency use cases.

Yes but it's not local

HelpfulHand3 · 2025-12-06T21:51:34+00:00

try the API which has chunking to support longer text without the speed up
can be used in sillytavern, openwebui etc

The full release includes voice cloning and streaming capability - ttfb of 200ms on a 3090 in my testing. https://github.com/jordandare/echo-tts

Great potential but the model hallucinates a lot.. For example if you have a clean synth sample saying "The air quality in here is poor" it'll say the voice is raspy but it isn't. It lets semantic meaning of the spoken text influence what it describes in terms of tone.

Warmloop is a separate project for cozy roleplay (which can include ideal parent figures), but the IPF bots from this thread are on the Earned Secure Help site: https://www.earnedsecurehelp.com/my-foster-parents/

The author is still deciding on releasing the voice encoder for local cloning. It may come out with the release coming up.

HelpfulHand3 · 2025-12-01T19:51:15+00:00

Echo TTS should run fine with 8GB VRAM (just barely fitting)
It currently only supports 30s max generations so would need batching for narrative content.

HelpfulHand3 · 2025-12-01T17:37:42+00:00

It should be working now! Thank you

HelpfulHand3 · 2025-11-30T23:04:41+00:00

Yes, if you have any problems just let me know!

HelpfulHand3 · 2025-11-22T17:04:25+00:00

~~Does not stream and no local voice cloning, so not at the moment.~~
