Usage

turnvoice -u <YouTube Video URL> -rw <Reference WAV File> -ov <Output Video Filename>

Parameters Explained:

• -u, --url: (required) The YouTube video URL you want to transform.
• -l, --language: The language for transcription and synthesis (default: 'en').
• -dd, --download_directory: Where to save the video downloads (default: 'downloads').
• -sd, --synthesis_directory: Where to save the text to speech audio files (default: 'synthesis').
• -e, --extract: Use with -e to extract audio directly from the video (may lead to lower quality but can reduce likelihood of errors)
• -rw, --reference_wav: Your chosen voice in wav format (24kHz, 16 bit, mono, ~10-30s)
• -ov, --output_video: The grand finale video file name (default: 'final_cut.mp4').

Example Command:

Ever wanted Arthur Morgan to narrate a cooking tutorial? Here's how:

turnvoice -u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmC9SmCBUj4 -rw arthur.wav -ov cooking_with_arthur.mp4

This example needs a arthur.wav clone wav file in the same directory. Works when executed from the tests directory.

Pro Tips

The Art of Choosing a Reference Wav

• A 24000, 44100 or 22050 Hz 16-bit mono wav file of 10-30 seconds is your golden ticket.
• 24k mono 16 is my default, but I also had voices where I found 44100 32-bit to yield best results
• I test voices with this tool before rendering
• Audacity is your friend for adjusting sample rates. Experiment with frame rates for best results!

Fixed TTS Model Download Folder

Keep your models organized! Set COQUI_MODEL_PATH to your preferred folder.

Windows example:

setx COQUI_MODEL_PATH "C:\Downloads\CoquiModels"

Future Improvements

• Optional Translation: Polyglot? Coming soon!
• Optimized Synthesis: Reducing the synthesis tries for faster results.
• Voice Cloning from YouTube: Imagine cloning voices directly from other videos!
