enhancement: add StyleTTS2 support about epub2tts HOT 7 OPEN

Ah interesting, I had been watching StyleTTS2 progress a while back but I haven't looked at it in the last month or so. I'll check it out and try to play with it some, that would be neat if it's even better than XTTSv2!

Great, I'd be interested in how you get on with that.
The main thing that sticks out to me is not only the naturalness, although it is quite fast on the cpu that I tested it with as well.

I'm keeping a close eye on the styletts2 project, and just wanted to pass along that there's been a pip package released strictly for inference.
Of course as this is new things change quickly, although wanted to let you know.

I just finished examining StyleTTS2. I think if we accumulate a bit more we might be able to solve the issue with GPL phonemizer dependency, or at least feel bad together.

I get it, I had not noticed the phonemizer/GPL issue when I poked around. Now though the GPL fork makes a whole lot more sense to me!

Honestly I think if/when when StyleTTS2 is sounding good and worth using, we can just use the neuralvox fork and re-license this to GPL, assuming the few contributors we've had will agree to that. If they won't, I can pull out any directly contributed code like that and write it fresh, and make a GPL fork of epub2tts.
