Creating a TTS archive for long term

[judyfong]

Hello. @atliSig @G-Thor @thdg

I have obtained the rights to create a TTS voice from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkmfWA9hyPw

I am currently using tiro software to do it since the audio is amazing so I can just use ASR to "create the prompts."

The rights are a donation for kraft.is. How does one import a dataset into LOBE? is that possible? or if it is not currently possible, what is the TTS dataset creation guidelines and rules that were used for Talrómur? I believe these datasets were originally made within LOBE itself. Can you point me to the exact file which would be a good starting point?

If we ask nicely, the donor/donator/donuter 🍡 might be willing to license his voice specifically for Icelandic language technology researchers within Iceland to use or even just for @atliSig to use to publish papers.
