imo this kind of tech is useful to supplement the artist, not replace them. You listen to a singer because you know their voice more than anything. Bob Dylan was a pretty bad singer, but I listen to him because of some emotional connection.

same company, yes, but major updates since our demo:

1) Quality: the underlying model is much, much better, and so is the quality of the Voice Clone. 2) Productization: previously we just had a stand-alone demo, now we've launched the product (user accounts, multiple voices, etc.)

thanks for linking -- the core project is indeed open source! the founding team all worked at Mozilla on TTS and DeepSpeech, then we spun out to create Coqui <3

Thanks, Neil :D The current model definitely does an "implicit" accent conversion to American English, but in the near future we'll have something that keeps accents on separate sides of the pond, so to speak :)
