Enthusiastic Support and Request for French Voice Model Development
I would like first express my admiration for the exceptional quality and performance of your OpenVoice project. It is evident that OpenVoice currently stands as a paragon of balancing quality with speed in the realm of TTS solutions.
Your commitment to advancing the accessibility and usability of TTS technologies motivates me to bring forth a suggestion. Considering the expansive potential of your technology, I would be thrilled to see the development of a French voice model. Introducing a French variant could significantly enhance the applicability and reach of OpenVoice, catering to the vast Francophone population across the globe.
Thank you for your continuous innovation and dedication to excellence.
There is now French support but it is not as good as English: https://github.com/myshell-ai/OpenVoice/issues/449 In the past I also tried https://github.com/serp-ai/bark-with-voice-clone (French support was not good either) and https://github.com/neonbjb/tortoise-tts (only English support). At least this project runs much faster on an Intel CPU / GPU.
