Download TTS models

Open howardbaik opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

RStudio crashes when attempting to use a new model. When tts is using a new model (that doesn't exist in /Users/howardbaek/Library/Application Support/tts), it needs to download the model to that folder:

I think this download process causes RStudio to crash for some reason.

The Python TTS API seems to deal with this by setting up (initializing) the model first before converting text to speech.

Task

  • [ ] Figure out a way to download the model in the user system (for ex. /Users/howardbaek/Library/Application Support) without crashing RStudio.
