Hi, I need help to find some sites that provides great text-to-speech, like Ivona.com, but much better sites, since Ivona's voices cannot include any mood/emotional (like: angry, happy, sad and etc.) or situational/conditional speaking (injured and/or dying)...
Is there any idea where I could find a site like that...?
And of course, for free (for software download and/or on-line demo(s))...:D

You can try Natural Reader. I don't think you're appreciating how hard it is to emulate vocal inflections synthetically either; something for use commercial that can do everything you want will probably hit at least a thousand dollars (and probably won't even do most of what you want anyway. Dying, really? Do you have any idea how complex that kind of vocal system is?) At best you might be able to find something that can change the pitch and toning of the voice with manual controls, but even that would be pretty iffy for free and I serious doubt commercially usable. You would be looking at a massive vocal model to develop that kind of thing (or an extremely efficient algorithmic set to accomplish it, which if you do happen to find tell me because I'll be wasting a lot of dev time working on one otherwise), which are already on a huge scale.

I subscribe to Varine's post, this is a huge and and potentially very profitable domain so you're in no luck if you want something for free and I doubt there's a large range of emotions that can be rendered with today's algorithms.

I think you'd be better off finding some amateur voice actor that would help you for free or for a really small price.

Not unless you intend to put in a significant amount of effort manually changing the tonal ranges. Which would be possible, but not very efficient. I'm doing research in it right now, but it's not going to be a very effective system for what you want probably, the only reason I want it is for dynamic conversation because I'm very lonely.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
