pipertts_de-DE_dii

This is a text-to-speech voice model for German. The voice is Dii, a female voice. It uses the Piper VITS architecture, exported to ONNX for CPU inference. It was fine-tuned from the base voice pipertts_nl-NL_dii, the closest available language for this voice.

How to use

This is a Piper VITS voice, in ONNX format. Use it with any Piper-compatible runtime, or with ovos-tts-plugin-piper in OVOS:

{
  "tts": {
    "module": "ovos-tts-plugin-piper",
    "ovos-tts-plugin-piper": {
      "voice": "OpenVoiceOS/pipertts_de-DE_dii"
    }
  }
}

Command line, with the piper package installed:

echo "Guten Morgen, wie geht es dir?" | piper --model OpenVoiceOS/pipertts_de-DE_dii --output_file output.wav
