You can only use small sentences when using coqui-TTS. They should mention that somewhere in the repo, but they don’t. I thought it would be just passing a text file and getting an audio file like tts < input.txt > output.wav. But it only works if the text file is divided in small enough sentences which makes it impractical for most cases.
I didn’t notice that when i tried it before but now I see what you mean… that is really irritating :(
Also, just now I tried to have it just speak the word “hello” (no punctuation) and got something like “hello oh oh oh oh” with a bit of tonal variation in the strange sounds at the end. So, yeah, I guess they’ve got a ways to go still. Other short phrases I’m trying have good results, but somehow “hello” produces these odd sounds.
