# HAL 9000 Piper TTS Model

This repository contains a text-to-speech (TTS) ONNX model that replicates the voice of HAL 9000, the AI character from 2001: A Space Odyssey. The model was trained using [Piper](https://github.com/rhasspy/piper) and audio clips collected from the film, which can be found in [this repository](https://huggingface.co/datasets/campwill/HAL-9000-Speech).

## Project

I am currently using this TTS model for a HAL 9000 voice assistant project, which you can find on my [GitHub](https://github.com/campwill/hal-voice-assistant).
