I used Victoria and Lizzie TTS voices from Acapela Group Company as my voices, and a clip sequence I created with Oscar’s voices from a story on Duolingo

I know who the actor was! He was the same actor that played Big Bird. His name is Carol Spinney.

Oscar the Grouch would be hilarious! He would just be complaining all the time and telling you to get lost and scram lol. That would be kind of funny at times.

The girl voices are from Acapela TTS, and the male voice is a few clips from Duolingo’s Oscar. I’ve a dataset around 120 clips and I’m expanding it day by day, for Oscar’s model, but as you said, piper voice training needs a great gpu, which is what I don’t have, and none of the online methods aren’t working anymore to train a voice. At least I don’t know any online method which is still works.

In my Lizzie’s World universe, Lizzie’s 9, autistic, energetic, and confident if she knows what the things about. And Victoria is around 13 to 14, a classical teenager who doesn’t have her best relationships with children.

These are TTS voices from Acapela Group company, and I’m using them on android. They’re one time purchase voices. The cost is 3.99 for an adult voice and 11.99 for a child voice, on android. But I’m not sure if you can use them on Iphone as screen reader voice. And, they’re from between 2012 to 2025, depending on the voice since there are more voices, and they’re not as good as some other voices. You can search for John2007 on Ramblio, find my old profile which I can not log in since I lost my mail adress, and listen to things I did with TTS voices there.

I wrote a story series called Lizzie’s World, and I gave them ages based on how they sound like. And, in the real world, Acapela Group’s shared articles on their web sites when some of the voices are released, so we have the releasing dates. For example; Lizzie’s released on 2021 with a boy voice named Owen, and Victoria’s released on 2024 as the first canadian english and french girl voice with Julian, the first canadian bilingual boy voice, and Melany, the first Canadian bilingual woman voice.
