Hello. I have a Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition and I am trying to fine tune the TTS output. What’s confusing is that there are two places to configure Piper:
- Settings → Voice Assistants → {{ your_assistant }} → Text-to-speech allows you to just pick a tts engine and voice
- Settings → Add-ons → Piper → Configuration has way more settings, giving you more voices by allowing you to choose the speaker (with option 1 if a voice has multiple speakers you are stuck using the first one), length scale, and some other fine-tuning parameters useful for really dialing in the tts output
my problem is that I seem to be able to make edits using option 1, but not option 2. Or maybe I can? I tried testing by changing the scale length to 2, and it wasnt working, so then I changed the scale length to 0.2, but now maybe the scale length of 2 is working? Listening to the voice, it’s unclear to me which is why I changed it to 0.2, but that doesnt seem to work at all so im thinking it never worked and the voice just talks fast sometimes. Ive been trying to say new phrases too to avoid cached results screwing with me.
Is it possible to use option 2, or get the settings presented by option 2 by some other means? Right now I just dont feel like I can get the results im looking for with just the controls available from option 1. Thanks
