> I contribute my voice as a person believing in a world where all people are equal. No matter of gender, sexual orientation, religion, skin color and geocoordinates of birth location. A global world where everybody is warmly welcome on any place on this planet and open and free knowledge and education is available to everyone. :earth_africa: (*Thorsten Müller*)
Please keep in mind, that **i am no professional voice talent**. I'm just a normal guy sharing his voice with the world.

All my "Thorsten-Voice" datasets are listed and downloadable on Zenodo. Qoutation is highly appreciated in case you use them in your projects, products or papers.
All emotional recordings where recorded by myself and i tried to feel and pronounce that emotion even if the phrase context does not match that emotion. Example: I pronounced the sleepy recordings in the tone i have shortly before falling asleep.

Celebrating 🎉 **5 years of Thorsten-Voice** project (est. october 2019) i released **ALL recordings in FULL samplerate (44kHz)** in an ALL-IN-ONE dataset on 🤗HuggingFace! Obviously again in CC0 license!
There are multiple german models available trained and used by by the projects [**Coqui AI**](https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS/), [**Piper TTS**](https://github.com/rhasspy/piper) and [**Home Assistant**](https://www.home-assistant.io/). You can find more information on how to use them, audio samples and video tutorials on the [Thorsten-Voice project website](https://www.Thorsten-Voice.de).
In addition Silero, Monatis and ZDisket used my voice datasets for model training too. More samples and details can be found on [Silero Thorsten-Voice audio samples](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tR6w4kgRS2JJ1TWZhwoFuU04Xkgo6YAs?usp=sharing). See this [colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/snakers4/silero-models/blob/master/examples_tts.ipynb) for more details.
[ZDisket](https://github.com/ZDisket/TensorVox) made a tool called TensorVox for setting up an TTS environment on Windows and included a german TTS model trained by [monatis](https://github.com/monatis/german-tts). Thanks for sharing that. See it in action on [Youtube](https://youtu.be/tY6_xZnkv-A).
Special thanks to my dear colleague, Sebastian Kraus, for supporting me with audio recording equipment and for being the creative mastermind behind the logo design and of course to the dear **Dominik** ([@domcross](https://github.com/domcross/)) for him being so close by my side on this amazing journey.
