    - anyone got a real time "original voice" to "AI voice" implementation using parrot or parakeet or whatever bird is flying this month?

    - bonus if it works with OBS studio

      Can you explain more what you are looking for, and what you are hoping to achieve?

        - i do game recordings

        - my actual voice is terrible and i have a lot of noise in vicinity to sit and process it

        - what i want is to be able to talk into the mic and an AI voice is generated in real time with a very large degree of accuracy

        - bonus if it works with OBS as a plugin or something

          That's interesting -

          I have been playing with Whisper speech-to-text recently (both CLI, and also . Depending on the model & computer performance, it seems like it can stream (listen and transcribe to text) audio. Maybe you can pipe that to a text-to-speech service (remote or local), and configure that as an audio input to OBS.

          Are you live-streaming, or just recording video file to edit/publish later? If it's not live, that may relax some of the latency requirements.

          Somewhat related, Descript mentions it does dubbing. I recently used this tool to edit a video, and I was impressed by how easy it was, and accurate too. It may not fit your realtime use-case, but might be worth exploring...

          Good luck!

            - i am curious about something else as well

            - what exactly is the architecture of speech to speech?

            - is it speech to text and text to speech or am I badly understating the actual mechanism
