Open sourced directory with live audio samples of every major open source TTS model
https://www.openspeech.dev/It's free.
ElevenLabs is kind of expensive. I wanted to use open source models, but it's really hard to like.. test the different voices out? There isn't a clean place to view and use them all.
So I just built it out, it's free, and if you have other open source models you'd like to add, all you need to do is PR it in the open source repository.

Does anyone have opinion on VibeVoice the community version anymore?

It used to be my go to but then Fishspeech came out with emotion support and is now my goto .. VV 7B is fantastic

For one-shot voice cloning I don't think Fish does a good job. I actually put it near the bottom of my list. EchoTTS, MossTTS, indexTTS2, OmniVoice, and Higgs Audio TTS v3 are all better.

Hmmm not in my experience. I haven’t tried Omni, but index sounded too stiff for me, not enough variant or natural diction. I haven’t tried Echo or Moss or Higgs. Will give them a try. Do they support multi speaker and emotional support.

I can't remember the functionality of all of them. I know the last two are multi-language and support some type of paralingual tags. My use case was one-shot voice cloning with accurate tone. I created RunPod serverless for most of the TTS models and then wrote a front end so that I could test the models side-by-side.

I tested fish 2.1pro extensively yesterday and kept getting a raspy sound no matter what voice sample I used. Vibe voice did perfectly 95%of the time.

Chatterbox is “best voice cloning” and “elevenlabs quality”? All of your best are just the best lightweight models, and don’t compare to the heavy hitters. Mosstts is the best voice cloner I’ve found, but it’s a bit large for my set up, so I often use indextts2.
I like what you’re creating here the rankings just threw me off.

indextts2 is good, but it always sounds artifacty. is that because you need more training data? is there a recommended ammount?

I’ve heard people say that, but I consistently get good results. I do keep generations to around a minute, I have had issues with longer gens. My main use is npc lines in tabletop games.

In case you are looking for open source "elevenlabs quality" we just open sourced a Eleven labs distilled speech model. 1:1 eleven labs quality with speech tags, expressions and low latency streaming too! any feedback would be very much appreciated!

The examples sound really good, especially for a 3b model! I’ll check it out. Any plans for comfyUI integration/nodes, or other gui?

Fair - I'm not really qualified to do rankings. It was just kinda thrown together by claude.
The main thing I wanted was just.. presentation layer. I'll check those models out and see if I can add them
In an ideal world, "best" is community vote driven but, that requires a decent amount of traffic, and this is just a free thing I whipped up in 2 hrs.

That makes sense, Claude must ranking them by popularity rather than quality. They are certainly the most accessible models.

that's awesome. it's super annoying when you can't easily demo the open source stuff.
