To be clear - I do not mean lactobacillus rhamnosus.
Thanks for having a look. Yeah it’s because of the paper. I dug into the source and the research they cited, and it sounded a lot like lactulose was pretty much ineffective at promoting any of the really beneficial bacteria. And the price for chemical grade Rhamnose is way beyond my budget, especially as, as far as I could tell, the dosage is pretty high, to get the benefits.
I did sign up for ElevenLabs, unfortunately they cannot allow me to clone a dead persons voice, as per their FAQ:
You may only clone your own voice or a voice you have the rights to clone. For added security, when creating a Professional Voice Clone we require users to complete a Voice Captcha mechanism by reading a text prompt within a specific time to confirm your voice matches the training samples you upload for training. If there’s a match, your request is sent for fine-tuning. If not, you’ll have to reach out via our help center to have your voice verified manually.
Now I’m sure it wouldn’t be an issue to get the legal rights, but when I spoke to their support, they did not have any way to verify beyond the captcha.
Thank you for the tips. As I see it currently, I expect the language to be the biggest hurdle. It doesn’t appear like something I can add myself, even if I had the data for a model. So as far as I can tell it involves two currently more or less impossible steps: Get model data and teach language to model.
