Fridays, I post photos of the different musicians I photographed over the years.
From 2023
Ottawa Hogman-Eh, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

The Ottawa Hogman_eh was the largest hogmany celebration outside of Scotland, until financial issue forced it to scale back. I photographed the event for three years, before taking over the organisation for one year.It

Maider eta Antton: Euskarazko TTS ahotsak Piper motorrerako egokitu ditut

Azkenaldian adimen artifizialeko eredu lokalekin nabil lanean edo hobe esan, etxean probak egiten nire etxeko "laborategi" informatikoan. Hainbat kezka eta jakin min ditut buruan AAri dagokionez (ez naiz orain denak esaten hasiko) eta horietako bat euskarazko TTS (Text To Speech) libreen beharra izan da aspalditik. Testutik euskarazko audiora pasatzen duen teknologia badugu, baina ez zegoen orain arte software librean txertatzeko modurik. Gainera, erabiltzen ditudan software libreko hainbat proiektutan TTS teknologia hau eskuragarri dago dagoeneko; Piper da horren adibideetako bat. Nola hit...

For Those who may not know. #Piper, the neural #TTS is now usable on #IOS, but keep in mind, the experience is terrible. The voices are not responsive, and when they are, they speak so slowly that at 80% speech rate, it sounds rediculously slow. I wouldn't try it if I wer you.

OMG these #Piper #tts voices are horrible in French with #VoiceOver. Moreover, there seems to be a major encoding issue because accented letters are very poorly pronounced.
