I've got 2 apps I'm working on - a desktop app that runs offline no subscription and a SaaS version that runs in a browser with a monthly sub. Does bundling them together make sense or should I run 2 separate deals? They're virtually identical aside from the fact that the desktop app requires a beefy GPU and the cloud version does not.
Was wondering what the split was between people who have most of their content creation pipeline automated vs. those using interfaces.
Title.
Need something cheap while traveling with an eGPU
I’ve been experimenting with TTS for some time now and I think neural TTS models have gotten decently good at mildly changing tone and emphasis based on the text. But I find that they still lack enough emotion to keep longer speech engaging. I notice it especially in audiobooks where if the speech is too flat, it breaks the flow and my ears get "tired".
So I found a way to hack emotions into Qwen3 using the voice design model. First I generate a throwaway clip of a cloned voice reading an emotionally-loaded script then I feed that clip back in to condition the final pass, transferring its emotional prosody onto the actual text. And it actually works!
The workflow is: add text, select/add a voice, assign an emotion and intensity from a dropdown, and generate. The only caveat is that it can take up to 10 generations to find the right output that perfectly matches the reference audio.
This is different from adding tags like [sigh], [excited], [tired], which I find limiting in how expressive they make the speech. This applies emotions like anger, sarcasm, fear, authoritativeness to the text. You can try it for free here app.voicecreator.pro
Would love to get feedback if you’re generating audiobooks or voiceovers that need emotional delivery. What do you think is more important for your needs - emotion (anger, sarcasm, fear, etc.) or paralinguisitic tags (laugh, sigh, cough, etc.), or both?
I've been working on a website that provides text to speech services via Modal but it's hella slow because of Modal's cold start times. To speed it up I added a way to make use of my own GPUs that I have plugged in and one thing lead to another and now I have a marketplace where anyone can lend their GPU to pick up TTS jobs. Was wondering if there was any interest in this sort of thing.

Thoughts? Am I crazy for trying this?
Looking specifically for the cheapest services that offer voice cloning and long-form audio generation.
A couple of weeks ago I posted about a free TTS tool I made and a few people asked for more languages.
I've now added a new model that brings voice cloning support to 17 additional languages. You can clone a voice and generate speech in languages like Japanese, Korean, German, French, Arabic, Portuguese, and more.
The difference between this free TTS tool and most others is that all processing happens on your device, which means it's completely private, but the tradeoff is that it's slower than services that send your data to their servers for processing. As long as you have a relatively modern GPU it should work great!
The tool also does:
If you speak any of the newly supported languages, I'd really appreciate you testing it out. I can't personally evaluate quality for most of these, so native speaker feedback would be huge.

I've been working on improving compatibility with AMD GPUs so let me know what card you have if you get any issues.

Haven't seen any discussions about this eGPU. Looks like the desktop version of the 5060ti with Thunderbolt 5 and Oculink. Great card for AI workloads but not sure about gaming as the 4080m they have is ~10-20% faster and cheaper.
