Mimic Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• WhisperSpeech – An Open Source text-to-speech system built by inverting Whisper

  I know it's old at this point and doesn't use the fancy new tech, but Mycroft's Mimic 3 is still pretty impressive and is small enough to fit comfortably and generate speech in real time on a raspberry pi [0]. Some of their voices are better than others, but the best of them are definitely equal to the examples of WhisperSpeech given here.

• AI replacing voice actors for audiobooks

  So dumb, use Mimic3 for free, and you can also use SMML tags so you can change voices for different characters, and modulate the speech to better fit the book! Source: 12 months ago

• [D] Locally-runnable text to speech AI?

  I started out with mycroft which has mimic 3 build in. But you can run it just stand alone as well and quite easy to set up. https://mycroft.ai/mimic-3/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Best AI text-to-speech programs?

  So far the Mimic3 from Mycroft has been the best I've seen. With the hifi-tts_low being my favorite English voice. It also support SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) which can allow for more fine tuning on the output (like volume, changes voices, speach rate, specific Phonemes, etc). Source: over 1 year ago

• Mycroft – open-source voice assistant

  I installed their self-hosted minic3 tts the other day to add a voice to my home assistant on prem smart home. It sounds unbelievably good compared to the picotts crap I was using before. Pretty stoked. Now I want to try getting the voice assistant hooked up too. https://mycroft.ai/mimic-3/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
