docker compose logs > my-well-named-error.logThis software was written for the express purpose of running within a debian server environment with access to an NVIDIA GPU, as such no guarantees can be made that building will be successful on other operating systems. It is possible to run on a CPU however the run time will be greatly increased.
The build process has been tested on Intel chips running Ubuntu 20.04 & macOS Monterey 12.5.x.
You can, however, visit https://tts.techiaith.cymru to try out the software. Please also feel free to fill out a bug report with any problems you encounter.

By typing in the box and clicking the speech bubble you can hear our first neural text to speech voice.
Once the audio has been generate it should auto play, however browser settings may mean that you will need to press the play button in order to hear the voice.
The voices are bilingual and as such you may enter Welsh, English or mixed text, it should be noted however that miss-formed and informal speech is harder for the voice to articulate.
Once you have built the container a new folder 'exports' will be created in the root directory of the repository which
will allow you to create a local local WAV file, by executing the following
command. The output will then be saved into the 'exports' folder.
The exported files are given a randomised name and as such you should order the contents of the export folder by date in order to easily see the newest files. Once exported you can rename the files to a more convenient name should you wish.
