This is for fine tuning an XTTS v2 model.

• Set up a virtual environment for fine tuning
• • python -m venv .venv; source .venv/bin/activate
• Clone the right branch and install requirements
• • sh ./install_reqs.sh
• Run gradio
• • sh ./run_gradio.sh

I've had the best results using about an 8 minute audio sample. When you have a model you are happy with, run python copy_model.py and it will be copied to ~/.local/share/tts/voice-TIMESTAMP. I usually then rename that directory to something I can easily remember.

To use with epub2tts, just add --model my-model when creating an audiobook with XTTS v2.
