OpenVoice: Versatile Instant Voice Cloning

https://research.myshell.ai/open-voice

Summary: OpenVoice is a versatile instant voice cloning approach that requires only a short audio clip to replicate a speaker's voice in multiple languages. It offers granular control over voice styles, including emotion, accent, rhythm, pauses, and intonation. OpenVoice achieves zero-shot cross-lingual voice cloning and is computationally efficient, costing significantly less than commercial APIs. The technical report and source code are available online.
