free voice cloning in microsoft windows with coqui tts

coqui tts is an open-source text-to-speech (tts) engine that offers voice cloning capabilities. below is a step-by-step tutorial on how to set up voice cloning using coqui tts on a windows machine.

### prerequisites

before starting, ensure you have the following installed:

2. **pip**: this usually comes with python, but you can check by running `pip --version` in your command prompt.

### step 1: install coqui tts

1. **open your command prompt**.
2. **create a virtual environment** (optional but recommended):



activate the virtual environment:



3. **install coqui tts**:



### step 2: download a pre-trained model

coqui tts provides several pre-trained models. to clone a voice, you will need a dataset of the target voice. for initial testing, you can use an available model.


for instance, if you want to use the `tts_models/en/ljspeech/vits` model:



### step 3: voice cloning preparation

to clone a voice, you need to prepare a dataset that includes audio samples and corresponding transcripts. you can create your own dataset or use an existing one.

1. **collect audio samples**: gather several minutes of audio recordings of the target voice.
2. **create a transcript file**: each audio file should have a corresponding text file containing the spoken text.

### step 4: train the voice cloning model

training a voice cloning model can be computationally expensive and time-consuming. here’s a basic example of how you can initiate training using your dataset.

1. **create a training configuration file**:



2. **run the training script**:

ensure your dataset is in the correct directory st ...
