Guude,
my name is Thorsten Müller. I'm a german guy with lots of passion for open voice technology.

I'm working together with great @domcross to provide a German TTS model following this simple principle:

A free to use, offline working, high quality german TTS voice should be available for every project without any license struggling.

To reach this goal i've contributed more than > 30.000 audio recordings of my own voice and provide them under CC0 license. In addition to that we trained TTS models based on @coqui-ai TTS repository and made them available publically. You can see more on project website: https://www.Thorsten-Voice.de .

On this journey to an open voice future i've created the OpenVoice-Tech Wiki (https://OpenVoice-Tech.net) as a central place for all people and projects following this vision:

We already share the passion, now let's share the knowledge.

And - last but not least - i'm sharing my knowledge and lessons i've learned around Open Voice on my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThorstenMueller.

I'll continue this journey regardless of a sponsoring because i truely believe it's important to work on an open voice future. But if you would like to help me on paying hosting bills or support me on buying new recording equipment for future open voice dataset recordings, i'd really happy about it.

Thanks for taking time to read this text and if you like, we might hear us in future.
