Clone voices

Clone this model repository

Make sure you have git-lfs installed

Git lfs (Large filesystem)

In my case on Fedora 39

sudo dnf install git-lfs | teelog

Aside

I use an alias to create a log file with a date stamp

alias teelog='tee -a ~/logfiles/dump_`date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S"`.log'
git lfs install
git clone https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-voices

# if you want to clone without large files – just their pointers
# prepend your git clone with the following env var:

GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE=1

Sample usage

echo 'Welcome to the world of speech synthesis!' | ./piper --model en_US-lessac-medium.onnx --output_file welcome.wav

Usage from a text file

cat sample/hamlet_to_be.txt | piper --model ~/git/piper/etc/test_voice.onnx --output_file hamlet_to-be_piper_sample_voice.wav
