Can downloaded voice models used for TTS with coqui-ai?

[cryptotester]

Hi, noob question, sorry. I found a website that seems to have lots of existing and community created models at https://voice-models.com/

I downloaded a few, eg obama, trump etc. my question is:

Can I use such, with coqui-ai a downloaded model, as is, for TTS, meaning starting from a written text as input and get the audio as output?

Seems an obvious use case, but I haven't found yet an easy way to do this:

• download an already trained voice (of famous actors etc)
• save the voice in a TTS program and choose it from a list, configure it a bit, pitch etc
• type sentences and get the result using that voice

Would be cool if you can point me to the right direction to achieve this. Thank you.

You'll need to use each model with the toolkit they were trained with, so you have to check if a model was trained with Coqui.

Thank you. The follow up question is, is there a place with many voice models ready to download and use with coqui-ai?
Thanks

@cryptotester I think the easiest way is to use this website you mentioned to download de RVC model. Then, use this version repo (https://github.com/Vali-98/XTTS-RVC-UI) to import the RVC model and use XTTS at the same time.
You'll be able to use XTTS along with RVC (one of the best combinations)
