Cloning my Voice Into an AI Assistant

With all the dependency issues and fiddling around, someone should totally make this toolkit into a docker image!

It probably has been years since i watched a 37 min video without skipping once let alone a tech video. I feel like my attention span has been permanently increased.

18:14 "You have no idea how amazing it is to get to this point with no errors" -- really hit home

Quick note -- instead of removing silence, you would have been better served splitting at silence. The output would have been more intelligible for transcription, would not have required as many mid-word cuts which cause issues, etc etc

Chuck, @22:13 there is a warning that says 173 utterances were skipped, and probably that's why the end model sounded so badly. The same happened to me and I've read that this may happen when the length/number of words of each transcription or wav file is too large. Instead of 15 second clips, I experimented with 10-second or lower ones and didn't have this error. Edit: This is issue #663 on the piper github page.

Stop storing your secrets and API keys in your code!! Try Keeper, a password manager you can use in the terminal: (built for devs/admins): https://www.keeper.io/networkchuck I did it…..after days of frustration, blood, sweat and coffee..I finally figured out a way to clone a voice to use with my fully local, AI voice assistant!!!! This isn’t using cloud-based products like ElevenLabs…no…we are using a fully-local, open-source project called Piper TTS. This works wonderfully with the Assist voice pipeline in Home Assistant. 📝GUIDE and WALKTHROUGH: https://blog.networkchuck.com/posts/how-to-clone-a-voice/ 🔥🔥Join the NetworkChuck Academy!: https://ntck.co/NCAcademy **Sponsored by Keeper

I had like flash backs for the 1st 10seconds, from being a kid yelling at those recorded talk back hamster toys with that same audio playing back XP

Not sure if anyone has thought of this... But I just downloaded an Audible with a celebrity reading and now have 3 hours of perfect training material 😂

You need to pay Terry Crews and show him to properly create his own voice AI assistance because he's super into computers and technology. Do video with Terry Crews, pay to have him appear, and it will boost your already popularity to the max love to see if NetworkChuck included Terry Crews on his segments.
