This is impressive.

I just tried some sample verses, sounds natural.

But there seems to be a bug maybe? Just for fun, I had asked it to play the Real Slim Shady lyrics. It always seems to add 1 extra "please stand-up" in the chorus. Anyone see that?

Hello Gabriel from Kyutai here, maybe it's related to the way we chunk the text? Can you post an issue on github with the extact text and voice? I'll take a look.

I'm sure I'm being stupid, but every voice except "alba" I recognize from Les Miserables; is there a character I'm forgetting?

Václav from Kyutai here. Yes the original naming scheme was from Les Miserables, glad you noticed! We just stuck to Alba because that's the real name of the voice actor that provided the voice sample to us (see https://huggingface.co/kyutai/tts-voices), the other ones are either from pre-existing datasets or given anonymously.

Had so much fun with this. Was able to get my favourite celebrities to warn me about things happening on this PC.

Perfect timing that is exactly what I am looking for for a fun little thing I'm working on. The voices sound good!

I wonder if this could be adapted into an app that can run completely offline?

it is similar to chatterbox as far as realism at half the speed and no gpu needed which leads me to wonder, why is chatterbox so slow ?

Would be nice if preview supports variable speed.

voices sound great! i see sample rate can be adjusted, is there any way to adjust the actual speed of the voice?
