Building with Chatterbox TTS, Voice Cloning & Watermarking
AI Summary
In this video, the presenter discusses a new TTS (Text-to-Speech) model named Chatterbox from Resemble AI, focusing on its voice cloning capabilities and unique features like emotion control. The model, which is open source and MIT licensed, can clone a voice using as little as 5 seconds of reference audio. Key functionalities include cloning with emotional exaggeration control, allowing users to adjust the emotional tone of the speech output. The video demonstrates the model’s performance through several examples, compares it with other TTS technologies, and explains the ease of installation via pip. The presenter highlights the model’s watermarking feature to identify synthetic outputs and discusses its potential applications while acknowledging that it may not match the high quality of other models like Gemini TTS. Overall, Chatterbox offers a more controllable, open-source solution for TTS needs, appealing to developers seeking customizable voice synthesis solutions.
