Goal: Take a recording of someone speaking, pass it through a CLI or GUI, output a recording with the speaker's voice replaced by an AI voice.

I know there are closed-source or hosted services that do this, but they are a privacy risk and most surely also continue training their models on what users submit. The opensource solutions I have seen (last I checked 6 months ago or so) were all extremely outdated (around the beginning of the ChatGPT release) and required training using thousands of voice samples.

Surely somebody has done this before and didn't need to be an expert in the field to do so...

Non-solutions:

  • hosted services (elevenlabs, chatGPT, Gemini, ...)
  • "train your own AI"

combine whisper speech-to-text with any one of the numerous local text-to-speech solutions like picotts, piper, kitten, pocket-tts, outetts etc.
