Zonos is flying up the trending tab, and for good reason - it's the most expressive and emotive open-source TTS I've used to date. I'm happy to say it's now supported in Taproot, with added long-form synthesis support and other goodies.

Try it here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/benjamin-paine/zonos-longform

Getting started with Zonos in Taproot is easy; with a working CUDA toolkit and Python/Pip installation, all you have to do is:

apt install espeak-ng
pip install taproot
taproot install speech-synthesis:zonos-transformer
taproot invoke speech-synthesis:zonos-transformer --text "Hello, world!"

Hello HuggingFace 🤗, and happy new year! 🎆

I'm thrilled to be releasing the first iteration of a project I've been working on for quite awhile now. It's called Taproot, and it's a seamlessly scalable open-source AI/ML inference engine designed for letting developers build real-time experiences clustered across a small-to-mid-sized cluster, without the burden of hyperscale infrastructure.

Along with the server and task framework is a client library for node and the browser. And what good is a server and client without an app to go alongside it? To that end, I'm also releasing Anachrovox, a fun, real-time hands-free voice assistant that can run on mid-level devices in <12GB VRAM, with web search, weather, and other tools. It uses my real-time browser wake-word library to detect utterances of the phrase 'Hey Vox', 'Hi Vox', 'Okay Vox', 'Anachrovox' or just 'Vox' (alongside some others.)

Releasing this many things at once will definitely result in bugs, so please report them when sighted! Thank you all!

The Anachrovox Spaces are networked together, balancing load across them to keep all front-ends responsive. You only have to choose what color you like the most!
