espeak not working as backend on Windows OS

[ZeroHackz]

hi there,

Thanks for open sourcing this, I have everything installed and building perfectly. But espeak isn't supported on windows, is there a way to use a different backend for the text tokenizer? I've tried nltk and failed :(

These two lines:

text_tokenizer = TextTokenizer(backend="espeak")
audio_tokenizer = AudioTokenizer(signature=encodec_fn)  # Will also put the neural codec model on GPU

Everything else is working perfectly:

Alot of the installation instructions don't work for windows because apt-get is not a conda/windows cdmlet

Your better off using WSL

try quickstart with docker, should work for windows https://github.com/jasonppy/VoiceCraft?tab=readme-ov-file#quickstart
