Kanade Tokenizer: real-time voice cloning on CPU

A developer has highlighted an open-source project called Kanade Tokenizer, available on GitHub.

Kanade Tokenizer: fast voice cloning

Kanade Tokenizer is presented as an audio tokenizer optimized for real-time voice cloning. According to the developer, the tool achieves a high real-time factor, surpassing alternatives like RVC (Retrieval-Based Voice Conversion). An interesting aspect is its ability to operate on CPU, maintaining performance exceeding real-time.

The developer has created a fork of the project with a user interface (GUI) based on Gradio and Tkinter, simplifying its use. Audio examples are provided demonstrating voice conversion from ljspeech to kokoro.

The project and fork are available at the following addresses:
