https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_text-to-speech_voices TL;DR Version: Microsoft includes many text-to-speech voices with their Operating Systems for those who have difficulty reading text on their displays. As for why they're used: it all began with Microsoft Sam, a text-to-speech voice who was an early meme itself by virtue of the funny say it'd pronounce various words or syllables. TTS has been a fairly stable form of presenting text in a humorous way or without having to put your own voice "out there" for the world to hear. Hope it helps.

so you want to know what voices kracc bacc uses for his videos (as well as others like Kaka v420 and Surreal Entertainment)? well i got you just the thing right here.

this link has audio samples of well known tts synthesis out there used by well known youtubers, game devs, movie studios?, TV Channels??, Streamers, Musicians???, and meme creators including kracc bacc & others Throughout the years. So You could say that this post is THE BEST RESOURCE TO TTS VOICES IN ALL OF YOUTUBE!!! (and anywhere else.)

ways to obtain the voices in the link above are already posted in the comments.

*all links will get frequent updates until all relevant voices are found.

especially for voice samples that are labeled YTS 1-8 (an acronym for YouTube Sourced sites that has the voices.), I've made a little interactive infographic that has all of them labelled just for fun. you can also group them by their respective voice provider companies.

Websites: text2speech.org (Or CMU's Festival / Festival Lite if you are good with Arch Linux, i don't know about ubuntu tho.) cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/morevoices.html cepstral.com tetyys.com/SAPI4 (using the programs speakonia or balabolka (ms anna included) would also work. The additional l&h voices can be downloaded here ) tts.cyzon.us (again using the program DECtalk would also work.) naturalreaders.com ttsdemo.com acapela-box.com (There is also an app available without any background music.) freetts.com voicemaker.in readloud.net ttstool.com lingojam.com/MicrosoftSamOnline / fasthub.net / odo.lv/Espeak (Using the program eSpeak would also work.) discordier.github.io/sam classicreload.com/dr-sbaitso.html (so to get dr. sbaitso to say anything, just type 'say [input text here.]' and it will say it back to you.) ttsreader.com / windows93.net 's Speech program (those websites use the tts voices from both your browser and operating system, so if your using chrome on windows 10 that would turn out ok.) cloud.google.com/text-to-speech soundoftext.com azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/text-to-speech speech.microsoft.com/audiocontentcreation speech.microsoft.com/portal/voicegallery ttsfree.com nuance.com/omni-channel-customer-engagement/voice-and-ivr/text-to-speech.html a-quest.com/demo/index.html wizzardsoftware.com ibm.com/demos/live/tts-demo beta.elevenlabs.io imtranslator.net/translate-and-speak narakeet.com voiser.net lazypo.ro (this website has almost EVERY VOICE SERVICE that I mentioned in the above links. Definitely recommend it if you wanna use it as a hub.) (now to gain any audio files from them you can just download the generated files with just a button, record the voices with your favorite audio program [audacity for ex.] when pressed play, or right-click and press inspect then go to network, and click at any generated element when the play button's pressed and download it from here.) --- PC Programs: FL Studio: you can add a speech file and save it as wav. somehow ttsdemo.com has the fl studio voices under the 'Offbeat voices' section. I also just found out that they also originally appear from Microsoft's Talk It! & Willow Pond TTS Annotator Macintalk / PlainTalk: if you already have a mac pc then you could just somehow use a reader, but if you have a windows pc instead then emulate the voices via sheepshaver (or Virtualbox running any Mac os x version, OR probably run it in your browser using infinitemac.org ) and record them using audacity. even your iphone has that one feature where you can write text on any app, and you hold and it and press "speak" to hear the text back to you (ios 10+) even some of the original macintalk voices are there. LalaVoice 2001 Editor : same as any other program. on the tts editor, input text (in that case Japanese), press play, and record it with something like audacity or save it as a wav. the catch here is that you have to emulate it using virtualbox or something similar running windows 2000 - XP and up on the japanese locale. otherwise if you install it locally on your computer and accidentally uninstall it and tried to reinstall it back, it won't work. Chipspeech: you can either use it as a standalone program or a vst plugin to fl studio for example. just choose a voice under the talker section, type in your text in one of the boxes, and click and hold the speak button. I recommend not using any of the other voices in the talker section, since they have the same speaking tone. you then record them using audacity. --- Mobile Apps: VoiceForge Narrator's Voice TikTok: just record a blank video, type in text after recording, then hold the text and tap 'text-to-speech' and then use the Jessie voice by default, to anyone who lives outside the US, they're only left with one TTS option or other voices exclusive to that country. and there's no way of changing your device's locale on the app. Recently, The default Jessie can also be found on... ugh... CapCut. (Plus, there's a website available for that.) CapCut: basically the same as Tik Tok, but in editing form. Just put a blank video, type in text and then press text to speech on that text and select one of the voices... YEAH I REGRET ADDING THEM TO THE FOLDER WHY DID I ADD THEM AAAAAaaaaaAaaaAAaAa- (also available on pc and Online Browsers.) flite tts engine on android: basically uses the same engine as text2speech.org but you can also download more voices manually on the 'manage voices' section... yeah. (For mobile apps you must have a 2-way audio jack from your phone of your choice to your pc, unless if you run them trough means of emulation of course, and then record it with your preferred audio editor.) --- Honorable Mentions: as for the personal assistant voices (Google Assistant, Siri, Cortana, & Alexa), I think you know how to obtain them. if you want to use ai voices of characters from popular media, Checkout the sites 15.ai , vo.codes , & uberduck.ai . and that's how to obtain them enjoy.

Do you have a powerful gaming pc with an nvidia GPU?

If NO: > Use elevenlabs.io and suck it up, or search for other similar products. Celebrity voices are banned now though so, idk what you do.

If YES: > You have access to local offline services, which typically offer more freedom at the expense of some technical expertise being required in setting them up.

...

Do you want to record yourself speaking and then convert that audio into another voice?

You want to use RVC. P3tro has the best tutorial for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ12-Vm2ryc&ab_channel=p3tro

...

Do you want to do "text to speech"?

Do you want it to be fast? Use CoquiTTS or StyleTTS2 - I would recommend first installing Pinokio and using whatever they have available, since it's good to test things. Go for a proper github install if you figure out why you should. https://pinokio.computer/

Do you want it to be good? Use TortoiseTTS - I would recommend spending a few hours watching the latest videos in this channel. https://www.youtube.com/@Jarods_Journey

...

Other things of note.

You need clean audio of the person you want to replicate. Podcasts and audiobooks are great! Speeches where it keeps swapping between the interviewer and interviewee, and where there is background noise like clapping, really suck an are not worth your time to deal with.

UVR5, ultimate vocal remover 5, is incredible at separating instrumental from vocal - use this as the basis of any song covers you may wish to do.

...

Video lipsync

I recommend easywav2lip or face fusion

...

Final note:

I haven't been playing with this recently. Do your own searching as there may well be 'portable' installs of things that have been released. A great example is 'easywav2lip' or also 'face fusion' as packages that are really easy to install and use, compared to the code they're based on. If you find anything you think is awesome and helpful, be awesome and share it as a reply to this comment! Help me, help you.

r/tipofmytongue on Reddit: [TOMT][Meme] Text-to-speech meme where the voice reads a nonsense collection of text, and says something along the lines of “unnnn geralt”
July 31, 2023 -

I think it was maybe reading a Tumblr post, but regardless it was either a TTS or AI voice that read a nonsense collection of letters that, at around the middle, makes a sound like “unnnnn geralt”, before a bunch of random noises and a “OOOOUUUUGH” at the end.

I believe it was just black text on a white background, and the voice was definitely not human (but was made to sound human-like, hence TTS or AI a la TikTok)

I’m trying to find this video. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

r/software on Reddit: What is the most natural sounding TTS (Text-to-Speech) service these days than can be used to add voice-over for YouTube videos? (no I'm not creating a meme or automated channel)
November 29, 2020 -

I just want to dabble in creating videos that are basically video essays about video games. If you're familiar with Noah Caldwell-Gervais, check out his YouTube, that's probably the closest example of what I'd like to aim for. I'm recording the gameplay via Nvidia Share (aka Shadowplay), editing the video via DaVinci Resolve, so basically all that's left is the voice-over narration.

A few problems though: 1) I don't plan on monetizing, so it would not be cost-efficient to hire someone to do the voice over. 2) I don't like my voice and don't have the talent to do it myself. Hell - I don't even like talking. 3) Even if #2 wasn't a problem, I don't have good gear to record a good voice over.

Solution? I think I'm fine with a Text-to-Speech service.

I've looked up a bunch of services and I think Amazon Polly and Google TTS are the most natural sounding I've encountered. My problem with the former is that it needs you to have an AWS and I tried, but I got stuck in the mobile confirmation - the code from AWS wouldn't reach my phone - so that's a no go so far. My problem with the latter is that it's paid, apparently? So again, the same reason why I don't want to hire a voice actor.

So the best alternative I have so far is IBM Watson. It doesn't sound as natural as Polly and Google, but it's the most unrobotic TTS I've encountered so far. I'm not 100% satisfied with it, so I thought I'd post here to ask if I'm missing anything.

Can anyone suggest any app or service that provides a natural, lifelike TTS that isn't Amazon Polly, isn't Google TTS, and is better than IBM Watson? Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I've been seeing a lot of videos that use the text to speech voice you can hear in the video below.

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJ4neean/

I'm wondering how you achieve that voice. I've checked out all the voices in CapCut but none of them sounded right. Do I need to use some other app or apply a voice effect to one of the CapCut voices.

All help is appreciated!
