MetaVoice-1B is a text-to-speech model trained on 100K hours of speech, more details on the model card.
Note that the current candle implementation suffers from some limitations as of 2024-03-02:
- The speaker embeddings are hardcoded.
- The generated audio file quality is weaker than the Python implementation, probably because of some implementation discrepancies.
