Conversation with ChatGPT4o:

Prompt: I want to clone voices for text-to-speech usage, but I want to do it legally. Are there any free-to-use voices I can clone?

Summarized Response:

Yes, there are several sources for free-to-use voices for legal cloning in text-to-speech (TTS) applications:

  1. Mozilla's Common Voice: Open-source voice dataset under a CC0 license.
  2. LibriVox: Public domain audiobooks available for free use.
  3. OpenTTS: Open-source TTS voices with permissive licenses like Apache 2.0.
  4. VCTK Corpus: Free dataset of recordings, usable with proper attribution.
  5. Google’s Speech Commands Dataset: Short speech samples under Apache 2.0.

Always check licensing terms for commercial use to ensure compliance. If you need help with specific TTS models, let me know!

Yes, there are several sources of free-to-use voices that you can legally clone for text-to-speech (TTS) usage. Here are a few options:

1. Mozilla's Common Voice

  • Details: Mozilla’s Common Voice project is an open-source initiative that collects and provides a wide range of voice data in various languages. The dataset is released under a CC0 license, meaning it is free for public use, including for cloning and TTS purposes.
  • How to Use: You can download voices directly from their dataset here.

2. LibriVox

  • Details: LibriVox provides free audiobooks of public domain books, and the recordings are also in the public domain. You can use these voices for TTS training or cloning as they are legally free to use.
  • How to Use: Extract and use recordings available on their website here.

3. OpenTTS

  • Details: OpenTTS provides open-source implementations of TTS models and voices. You can use their voices under permissive licenses (such as Apache 2.0) for cloning or personal projects.
  • How to Use: You can access OpenTTS models and resources on GitHub.

4. VCTK Corpus

  • Details: VCTK is a speech dataset containing recordings from multiple speakers. It is free for academic and commercial use with proper attribution. This dataset can be used for voice cloning, but it's important to adhere to their license conditions.
  • How to Use: You can download the dataset here.

5. Google’s Speech Commands Dataset

  • Details: Although primarily focused on keyword recognition, this dataset contains a wide range of short speech samples that can be used for TTS model training.
  • How to Use: Available here, this dataset is under the Apache 2.0 license.

Licensing Considerations:

When using these sources, always check the specific licensing terms, especially for commercial use, to ensure compliance. For instance:

  • CC0 (Public Domain) means you can use it freely for any purpose.
  • Apache 2.0 allows modification and commercial use, provided the original license is maintained.
