A fair bit to update on! Let's get into it.
First of all, I've been going through more v1->v2 voice re-training. The 13 re-trained voices are (all Skyrim):
- Serana
- FemaleCondescending
- MaleBrute
- MaleYoungEager
- Fr...
So the strawpoll in the last post apparently doesn't work (fab), but I got another poll going on the discord server, and the vote was overwhelmingly (17 for, 6 against) in favour of doing more voice re-training v1->v2, rather than a new set of ...

This one's been a long time coming, but it's finally here (and finished).
This is an xVASynth plugin to integrate xVASynth voices into the Fuz Ro Bork mod which adds real-time TTS to the player in Skyrim. This has been a joint effort w...

Had a slight set-back. While integrating the training script into xVATrainer, I found some ways to optimize the training scripts, which also affects the quality (I think for the better - let me know!). This meant a ...
2022-02-02 15:31:23 +0000 UTC View PostWhile the poll was going, I spent some gpu time re-training some of the other older v1 voices over to v2, in addition to the ones mentioned in the last post. With this update, we're now at about 20% of the voices having been re-trained to v2. The ...

I hope everyone's having a great holiday.
I've been taking it a little easier on the voice training, and focused a bit more on re-training some main voices from v1 to v2. I've included them here, as well as some new voices.

I spent some time recently, putting together and finalising a series of new tools for data preparation/pre-processing. These are tools that I've already finished integrating into xVATrainer (which is how I use them now!), so I thought I'd quickly ...

[EDIT 23/10/2021]: The team fortress 2 voices are really not that good at the moment, but I think I can greatly improve them with the v2.0 models. I will make another pass on them soon.
