I've included a feature which randomly generates a voice. These voices don't actually exist and will be random every time you run
it. The results are quite fascinating and I recommend you play around with it!
You can use the random voice by passing in 'random' as the voice name. Tortoise will take care of the rest.

Tortoise ingests reference clips by feeding them through individually through a small submodel that produces a point latent,
then taking the mean of all of the produced latents. The experimentation I have done has indicated that these point latents
are quite expressive, affecting everything from tone to speaking rate to speech abnormalities.
This lends itself to some neat tricks. For example, you can combine feed two different voices to tortoise and it will output

Tortoise TTS is inspired by OpenAI's DALLE, applied to speech data and using a better decoder. It is made up of 5 separate

The largest model in Tortoise v2 is considerably smaller than GPT-2 large. It is 20x smaller that the original DALLE transformer.
Imagine what a TTS model trained at or near GPT-3 or DALLE scale could achieve.
