Now that you have read my latest articles about Coqui_tts (here, here and here), you may maybe need some ideas about what to do with Coqui_tts.
Personally, when I code, my eyes are busy, but my ears are still available to do something else.
So thanks to Coqui_tts I can now use my computer to make it read what I can't read.

Thanks to Coqui_tts
And yeah... you may need a high-end graphic card, probably a Nvidia one, if you want to use Cuda.
(We suppose here that you already have a basic system, with the basic usual tools you need to have, to play with AI models to create pictures, to talk, to code, to chat and so on. )

Coqui_tts is a Text-To-Speech (tts) project.
Today I don't want to make it work with the "OoobaBooga text generation web UI" but use coqui_tts for some different coding projects.
Thanks to it, I would like to make it read the content of some text file or just to say something, so I can hear it.
Why a tutorial for OobaBooga users ?
Because I have already installed everything that I need and that works well for the OobaBooga webUI in a previous tutorial (just below).

While you can find some decent Text-to-Speech tools online, like:

It is harder to find free solutions to do text-to-speech on your computer like bark, to generate voice audios. I don't recommend to use this github to install Bark, because it can be tedious, especially if you already have many "pip install" solutions related to pytorch on your computer. I had for example an incompatibility that created this message: "No GPU being used. Careful, Inference might be extremely slow!" and indeed without a compatible graphic card with the correct setup of pytorch (see this "issue"), Bark is not going to do text-to-speech very well on your computer.
