I agree with the comment above. I have not logged into hacker news in _years_ but did so today just to weigh in here. If people are saying that the audio sounds great, then there is definitely something going on with a subset of users where we are only hearing garbled words with a LOT of distortion. This does not sound like natural speech to met at all. It sounds more like a warped cassette tape. And I do not mean to slight your work at all. I am actually incredibly puzzled here to understand why my perception of this is so radically different from others!

Thank you for commenting. I wonder if this could be another situation like "the dress" (2015) or maybe something is wrong with our codecs...

  • No, nothing wrong with your codecs. It's sounds shitty. But given the small size and speed it's still impressive.

    It's like saying .kkrieger looks like a bad game, which it does, but then again .kkrieger is only 96kb or whatever.

    • How big are TTS models like this usually?

      .kkrieger looks like an amazing game for the mid-90s. It's incomprehensible that it's only 96kb.
