Forgive me for my ignorance but isn’t TTTS opensource?

30% faster than what?

How much does it cost? I’m not signing in just to see the pricing.

Why not use replicate’s api?

$0.00055 per second or $0.033 per minute. Is that cheaper or more expensive than what you are charging?

You are absolutely right. However, despite being open source, it requires a lot of time/effort/resources to get the tortoise text-to-speech synthesis working. Therefore, it's very difficult for a non-technical person to use, and for most developers looking to build applications on top it's a waste of time since they will have to reinvent the wheel to create an ML endpoint.

That is why we built this managed API on top for anyone to get started with testing the model / integrating TTTS quickly. Hope that helps?

We open-sourced our ML infrastructure for TTTS deployment so that others can contribute to make it faster, scale better or add features like easy fine-tuning with data.

30% faster than the original TTTS!

We are providing the API at cost, i.e. $0.0005833/second.
We also provide $5 of free credits to try out the API. It currently costs $0.03/30words. Therefore, $5 ~ 160 API calls.

Based on your comment, its at par with replicate pricing. But, we will be faster with inference times & hence yielding micro-savings compounding over time

A multilingual version of this would be nice

Tried it, returns blank audio on my mobile

Where are you hosting GPU for this?

Can you try on laptop? Works on mobile for me, might just be an error on a system we've not tested...

which language are you thinking?

We're using Modal who run Kubernetes-type GPU cluster on GCP.

Ah, so you guys are 24x7 running a GPU server? isn't cost too high in this way? What you do when things are stale?

Nope, a new container is spun up when someone sends a request and spun down when the request is over. This is why we're able to provide at-cost and charge per-second.

very cool. Trying to log in to it now and when I click "sign in with github" the link changes to this: https://tts.themetavoice.xyz/?error=server_error&error_description=Database+error+saving+new+user

Anyone else getting this error where it directs here:

https://tts.themetavoice.xyz/?error=server_error&error_description=Database+error+saving+new+user

Site doesn't work

do you have a verified github email?

yup, I'm going to try it on another computer to see if it works there.
If it's just me then there must be a problem on my end

So only two other people have had this error. One was resolved by verifying their GitHub email. Haven't heard back from the other.

this is what i found, my literacy in this stuff is limited but i checked my account, all good there.

Seems fairly common

I have a verified GitHub email and it doesn't work for me either.

Tried it on a separate device using a different github login, same error.

For clarity, I've tried it with Chrome, brave, firefox on mobile and 2 laptops with two different github accounts. One I've used in the past and a new one I just made to test it.

Thanks! Looking into it. Sorry about this.
