Enhancement: Parler-TTS, a new open source model with steerable voice characteristics about dsnote HOT 2 OPEN

Thanks for letting know about this model. This creation of voice characteristics using text prompt is very interesting and unique! Parler-TTS would be a great addition to Speech Note.

The only problem is that this model cannot generate long text. Therefore, you need split the text into sentences and generate each sentence separately. Unfortunately, this causes each sentence to be generated in a different voice because this problem occurs.

I'm waiting for Parler-TTS devs to fix this problem and then I will definitely integrate it into Speech Note.

Valid points there - thanks for considering the model and finding this out!

I agree that switching voices between any two consecutive sentences is pretty awkward (IIRC, some included models - maybe WhisperSpeech? - already exhibit this to some extent) - particularly for my main use case (helping to quickly but still accurately skim scientific papers).

Feel free to close the issue unless you prefer to keep it open as a reminder.
