Rerouted Microsoft Edge TTS and XTTSv2 to have them back at the Arena. The Edge Space had Gradio API disabled, though a HF Space is not needed since it contacts a Microsoft server anyway. No clue how long this API will work. A ZeroGPU space is now used for XTTSv2.
IMHO while Zonos still has fewer amount of capabilities than xVASynth, I'm still giving it the first row at the TTS capabilities table due to IPA and insta-clone/zero-shot: 1οΈβ£ Pendrokar/open_tts_tracker
TTS: Sorry, I just cannot get the hype behind F5 TTS. It has now gathered a thousand votes in the TTS Arena fork and **has remained in #8 spot** against the _mostly_ Open TTS adversaries.
The voice sample used is the same as XTTS. F5 has so far been unstable, being unemotional/monotone/depressed and mispronouncing words (_awestruck_).
If you have suggestions please give feedback in the following thread: mrfakename/E2-F5-TTS#32
Added @amphion MaskGCT & @hexgrad StyleTTS fine tuned model by the name of kokoro to the forked TTS Arena Space. If things keep up from what is seen in the preliminary results, then these two may end up in the TOP 5 of all TTS models. π€οΈποΈ
I'm close to syncing the code to the original Arena's code structure. Then I'd like to use ASR in order to validate and create synthetic public datasets from the generated samples. And then make the Arena multilingual, which will surely attract quite the crowd!
How the π£π leaderboard of a merged TTS Arena with the π€ Spaces fork would look like. These results are somewhat unreliable as some models have not challenged the other in the list. And the original TTS Arena used only narration type sentences.
Made a notable change to the TTS Arena fork. I do not think anyone is interested in which bottomfeeder TTS is better than another beside it. So one of the top 5 TTS is always chosen in a challenge for more scrutiny. Also these top 5 are taken from preliminary results. Pendrokar/TTS-Spaces-Arena
