Every time I see these things, they look cool as hell, I get excited, then I try to get them working on my gaming PC (that has the GPU), I spend 1-2h fighting with python and give up.
Today's issue is that my python version is 3.12 instead of <3.12,>=3.9. Installing python 3.11 from the official website does nothing, I give up. It's a shame that the amazing work done by people like the OP gets underused because of this mess outside of their control.
"Just use docker". Have you tried using docker on windows? There's a reason I never do dev work on windows.
I spent most of my career in the JVM and Node, and despite the issues, never had to deal with this level of lack of compatibility.
Yes, you're absolutely right. I'll provide UV and conda support soon, especially for Windows. I'm using python 3.10 still, maybe that's the issue. You can always mail me your current problem or log an issue, I really care about opening up the repo for as many ppl to use as possible.
I didn't realise that you custom-made that voice. Would you have some links to other out-of-the-box voices for coqui? I'm having some trouble finding them. I think from seeing the demo page that the idea is that you clone someone else's voice or something with that engine. Because I don't see any voices listed. I've never seen it before.
And yes I switched to Kokoro now, I thought it was the default already but then I saw there were 3 lines configuring the same thing. So that's working. Kokoro isn't quite as good though as coqui, that's why I'm wondering about that. I also used kokoro on openwebui and I wasn't very happy with it there either. It's fast, but some pronounciation is weird. Also, it would be amazing to have bilingual TTS (English/Spanish in my case). And it looks like Coqui might be able to do that.
Coqui can to 17 languages. The problem with RealtimeVoiceChat repo is turn detection, the model I use to determine if a partial sentence indicates turn change is trained on english corpus only.
