## Hand-picked TTS samples
I generated ~250 samples from 23 text prompts and 8 voices. The text prompts have never been seen by the model. The
voices were pulled from the training set.
All of the samples can be found in the results/ folder of this repo.
I handpicked a few to show what the model is capable of:
[Atkins - Road not taken](results/favorites/atkins_road_not_taken.wav)
[Dotrice - Rolling Stone interview](results/favorites/dotrice_rollingstone.wav)
[Dotrice - 'Ornaments' from tacotron test set](results/favorites/dotrice_tacotron_samp1.wav)
[Kennard - 'Acute emotional intelligence' from tacotron test set](results/favorites/kennard_tacotron_samp2.wav)
[Mol - Because I could not stop for death](results/favorites/mol_dickenson.wav)
[Mol - Obama](results/favorites/mol_obama.wav)
Prosody is remarkably good for poetry, despite the fact that it was never trained on poetry.

## Looking forward
I'm not satisfied with this yet. Treat this as a "sneak peek" and check back in a couple of months. I think the concept
is sound, but there are a few hurdles to overcome to get sample quality up. I have been doing major tweaks to the
diffusion model and should have something new and much better soon.
