Launch HN: Lyrebird (YC S17) – Create a digital copy of your voice

This is incredible - recorded my voice and I'm blown away with the results.

One thing: I found that I was in such a hurry to record that I probably spoke faster than normal. It'd be nice if there was a way to tune a few parameters manually (tempo, pitch, etc).

If I ever lose my voice and have to have a TTS appliance speak for me, I'll be contacting you all to get my voice profile!

EDIT: For those interested, pretty impressive that it figured out the appropriate cadence for this: https://lyrebird.ai/g/v7MpYaUA

Thank you for the feedback!

Yes we are currently exploring ways to control the generation: volume, pitch, tempo, speed but also intonation and emotion.

Emotion would be a nice one - my wife's first comment was that it sounded too bored.
