Two speaking roles in one clip

Dia creates an audio dialogue from the script with designated speakers. In Dia2, the developer describes a streaming generation that outputs sound as it computes. Available weights are designed for English and have a duration limit. For the first run, take a short conversation to quickly evaluate the change of roles and make sure that the text format from the repository is followed.

Test a practice dialogue

A fictional visitor asks when the workshop opens. The second voice responds briefly and adds through which door to enter. First, prepare one sentence for each role. Listen to whether the participants are distinguishable by the timbre and whether there is a natural pause between them. If the model merges the answer with the question, shorten the wording and check the role marking. For comparison, save the successful version of the script and parameters.

When the dialogue is used as a temporary voiceover, check whether it fits in the allotted time. The speed of sound can change after a new generation.

Environment and source recordings

The developer publishes requirements for CUDA and models of different sizes. Start with the environment specified for the selected weights. Separately check the rights to voice examples if you use audio context. Keep the output file and text together. So it is easier to check the lines and notice words that sound different than in the original scenario. Check the names of roles with labels in the developer example.

Suitable tasks

  • Prepare a trial dialogue for the scene
  • Check how a sequence of spoken lines sounds
