Enthusiast has updated AI-powered text-to-speech software: making mods will be even easier

Today, October 25, Dan Ruta, an enthusiastic developer, has officially presented a big update for his xVASynth application with index 2.0 – the popular software that allows creators of custom modifications to voice characters, quests and texts, now it has become even more convenient to work. In honor of the release of the new version of the program, the author even published a rather interesting video with a detailed description of all the features and innovations – this video, which is not surprising, is also voiced using his own application – the developer generated a voice to describe each change in version 2.0.

The xVASynth program is a voice synthesizer for certain voice actors who gave their voices to the heroes of popular video games. The software uses built-in algorithms based on artificial intelligence, which, on the basis of prepared phrases and expressions, “create” voice acting by the voice of a particular actor, even if he himself has never said this word or phrase. And in version 2.0, the developer implemented the ability to install external pronunciation dictionaries, which already have accumulated phrases and words, plus a 3D visualizer appeared in the menu, which allows you to quickly navigate in the search for hundreds of voices of actors from popular video games.

Moreover, voices that are similar in timbre can now be grouped for easier search, and the phrases themselves can be customized in the application itself – you can change the intonation or duration of a phrase or word to make the voice seem more appropriate and realistic. Users can also use GPU mode to speed up the conversion of written text into a ready-made voice. And, of course, the end result is almost never perfect – the software often puts emphasis incorrectly, sometimes phrases are pronounced unnaturally, but for mod developers this is a great opportunity to voice quests or dialogues.
