# TurnVoice

A command-line tool that replace voices in youtube videos and can also translate.

## Installation 

```
pip install turnvoice
```

For faster rendering prepare your [CUDA](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) environment:

**CUDA 11.8:**
```
pip install torch==2.1.1+cu118 torchaudio==2.1.1+cu118 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
```

**CUDA v12.1:**
```
pip install torch==2.1.1+cu118 torchaudio==2.1.1+cu211 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu211
```

## Usage

```bash
turnvoice [-u] <YouTube Video URL|ID> [-l] <Translation Language> -r <Reference WAV File> -o <Output Video Filename>
```

For example, this is musk with the female default voice:
```bash
turnvoice RK91Ji6GCZ8
```

Same translated to german:
```bash
turnvoice RK91Ji6GCZ8 de
```

### Parameters Explained:

- `-u`, `--url`: (required) The YouTube video ID or URL you want to transform
- `-l`, `--language`: Language to translate to (supported: en, es, fr, de, it, pt, pl, tr, ru, nl, cs, ar, zh, ja, hu, ko)
   *leaving this out keeps the source video language*
- `-d`, `--download_directory`: Where to save the video downloads (default: 'downloads')
- `-s`, `--synthesis_directory`: Where to save the text to speech audio files (default: 'synthesis')
- `-e`, `--extract`: Use with -e to extract audio directly from the video (may lead to lower quality but can reduce likelihood of errors)
- `-r`, `--reference_wav`: Your chosen voice in wav format (24kHz, 16 bit, mono, ~10-30s)
- `-o`, `--output_video`: The grand finale video file name (default: 'final_cut.mp4')

You can leave out -u and -l as first parameters.

### Example Command:

Ever wanted Arthur Morgan to narrate a cooking tutorial? Here's how:

turnvoice AmC9SmCBUj4 -r arthur.wav -o cooking_with_arthur.mp4


*This example needs a arthur.wav (or.json) file in the same directory. Works when executed from the tests directory.*

## Pro Tips

### The Art of Choosing a Reference Wav
- A 24000, 44100 or 22050 Hz 16-bit mono wav file of 10-30 seconds is your golden ticket. 
- 24k mono 16 is my default, but I also had voices where I found 44100 32-bit to yield best results
- I test voices [with this tool](https://github.com/KoljaB/RealtimeTTS/blob/master/tests/coqui_test.py) before rendering
- Audacity is your friend for adjusting sample rates. Experiment with frame rates for best results!

### Fixed TTS Model Download Folder
Keep your models organized! Set `COQUI_MODEL_PATH` to your preferred folder.

Windows example:
```bash
setx COQUI_MODEL_PATH "C:\Downloads\CoquiModels"
```

## Future Improvements

- **Optimized Synthesis**: Reducing the synthesis tries for faster results.
- **Voice Cloning from YouTube**: Imagine cloning voices directly from other videos!
