I relaxed the threshold to ~0.5 seconds and added an explicit skip for lines too short to process.</li> <li>The library assumed a CUDA GPU. I patched it to run on CPU so it worked on Apple M1.</li> </ul> <p>The changes live in my fork at <a href="https://github.com/pratts/OpenVoice" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">github.com/pratts/OpenVoice</a> . They were scoped to my use case and haven&rsquo;t been proposed upstream.</p>
