HomePilot Piper Voices — Mirror
This repository is a mirror copy of select Piper TTS voice models, maintained exclusively for the HomePilot Project ecosystem:
- 3D Avatar Chatbot — VR/desktop chatbot with Piper WASM TTS
- HomePilot — AI persona system
- OllaBridge — AI gateway
Purpose
This mirror exists as a recovery backup to ensure voice model availability if the upstream source is ever deprecated, sold, or taken offline. It is not a fork or alternative distribution — it simply preserves the exact models used by HomePilot's TTS system.
