-s speaker option

[LaithOsama]

Hello,
First of all, I hope you're doing well! Thank you for creating and maintaining this project—it's wonderful to see modern technology contributing to a traditional human knowledge.

I wanted to know if there's currently an option to select the speaker, similar to the option -s that's available in piper-tts.

Thank you again for your hard work!

Thank you!

I am not very familiar with that option. Is that for multispeaker models? In general the only options are those shown by running ./QuickPiperAudiobook --help. You can change the model via the CLI or the config file by using --model but we currently don't support multi speaker models. It could be added though.

Could you provide more context on your use case?

Yes I think it's for the multispeaker models.
Models like libritts have a big number of speakers, each one has a unique tone and intonation, which I feel is making each one of them more suitable for different use. For example speaker 7 (p1638) is my favourite for audiobooks.

I don't think this is the right use for this option, but it offers more sound options. It's up to you whether it's worth to add it or not. I was asking if it's already there.

Thank you for the answer!
