🐸Coqui for offline TTS and STT

[erogol]

Proposal

Hi Leon team,

Thx for this great project. I've been following your impressive progress almost from day one (newsletter, code, and so on.).

As far as I can see in your road map, there is an inquiry of offline TTS and STT options, and Coqui gracefully listed there :)

I think 🐸 Coqui projects have all the bells and whistles for real-time offline or even online TTS and STT inference, and, the best part, everything is open-source (models and source code).

I am also personally ready to help along the way if you are interested in adding 🐸 to the Leon stack.

I drop some links below and feel free to reach out or continue the discussion here however you prefer.

👋 Hi, thanks for reaching out and for willing to help with this integration.

Indeed, Coqui will definitely be part of Leon in the future. Let's keep in touch and see how we can make this happens. Awesome work with Coqui BTW!

Thanks to @johannbarbie, Coqui STT is now the default STT solution for Leon 🎉

• Docs have been updated leon-ai/docs.getleon.ai@cca3a13.
• Coqui STT solution appears on the landing page leon-ai/getleon.ai@10c7922

Looking forward to implement Coqui TTS! Will keep this issue open as long as it is not there.

Hi there what an impressive job!

Do you have any rough timeframe plans/wishes 😄 for the TTS part?

Thanks!

I don't have time frame for this but it will happen before the official release. If anyone is willing to contribute in adding Coqui TTS, feel free to do it. Otherwise I will focus on it a bit later.

Just to note, we've added a basic Python API for TTS if it helps for better integration. https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS#-python-api
