Okada Voice Changer help

[slim coral]

Hi, I'm wanting to download the Okada voice changer after I saw a video of it online. I opened the start file and I let the files download, but the download stopped and told me to go to the URLs shown in the screenshot, but upon doing so, the site refused to connect. I used both of them, but none of them worked. Did I do anything wrong?

elaborate:

• your pc gpu
• your operative system
• what you want to do
• what tutorial link or download link did u use
• what browser do u use

do not use video tutorials, they are old for wokada and rvc

that's a CPU, not GPU

You can check your pc gpu on Windows via:
ctrl+shift+esc (task manager) -> Performance tab -> GPU

RVC = Retrieval-based-Voice-Conversion, the best Few Shots Speech To Speech AI Models (on v2), Inferences (use models) pre-recorded audio (ai covers) and train (make) models. Technically, Mainline RVC does have a go-realtime.bat (aka RVC-GUI), but it's pretty messy and outdated so it's extremely not suggested for realtime.

Wokada = uses RVC for realtime inference. There's 2 main versions, Original made by Wok, and the most suggested one is Deiteris Fork (modified version)

Wokada and RVC are 2 different programs, wokada is for realtime, while RVC is for pre-recorded audios and training models

which do you need?

DONT TRUST VIDEO TUTORIALS FOR RVC AND WOKADA, they are OLD, that video uses the same info used by a year old youtube tutorial lmao, thats an old version of original wokada, didn't you check the comments?

there's no updated video tutorial, only written guides

At the top is my GPU, an AMD Radoen (TM) Graphics. It's intregated on my laptop.

Opera GX
Opera GX has been reported to give issues with wokada deiteris fork, it's not suggested, also it's known for eating resources for its fancy effects

[slim coral]

I'm wanting to use Wokada for real-time

[fair blaze]

you don't have any other GPUs? please check: #1387499871526977599 message

[slim coral]

Ah, alright

[slim coral]

I checked on my Task Manager, that's the only GPU that's installed

[fair blaze]

a good GPU is a must for AI, AI is an intensive and complex task, it can't run on laptop integrated graphics

then your pc is way too weak to run it locally

[fair blaze]

You got 3 options:

• Buy a better pc
• Run it locally (on ur pc) using the CPU mode of the wokada fork which has better performance https://docs.aihub.gg/rvc-voice-changer/local/deiteris-w-okada-fork/ (but this isn't suggested as it could be unstable)
• Use **cloud **(remote good pc):

About Cloud, there are different services:

• Google Colabs (4 hours daily of free T4 gpu, easy to use, require only a google account) :
  • W-Okada's Deiteris' Fork Voice Changer Google Colab (currently works only on google colab PAID tier)
  • How to use Original W-Okada's Voice Changer Google Colab (has a Guide) (currently broken)
• Kaggles (30 hours weekly of better GPUs, T4x2 & P100, harder to use, requires an account and a phone number):
  • W-Okada's Deiteris' Fork Voice Changer Kaggle (the best and only working one currently for free)
  • Original W-Okada's Voice Changer Kaggle (currently broken)

this is open source ai, it isn't like chatgpt that is running on a remote good pc server

so don't get used to 1 click programs that can work on any PC, it runs on your pc hardware

[slim coral]

I've used a voice changer software like DubbingAi before using this one, are you sure it won't be able to work?

[fair blaze]

yep im 100% sure, dubbingai isn't local, it's a product by a company, it runs on cloud

wokada deiteris fork is FOSS, Free and Open Source Software made by the community, everyone can check the code

and wokada deiteris fork isn't paywalled or anything

while ofcourse dubbingai has a paid tier because it runs on a remote good pc, unlike wokada

[slim coral]

Alright. I'm wanting to test it out, I'm wanting to see how its going to run. If it runs well, then that's great, but if it runs bad then at least I tried. Even if my laptops not that powerful, I'm willing to try. So the issue I'm experiencing is the links shown in the image not working, the browser I used was Microsoft Bing and Opera GX, they didn't work.

In the photo, it says that it will launch when you access any of the following URLs, but the website wouldn't connect

[fair blaze]

its not worth it

your gpu wont even be recognized

it will run just in CPU, which is pretty unstable

[slim coral]

Oh, alright

[fair blaze]

either buy a better pc, or use cloud

you can get 30 hours for free weekly with kaggle

its better to use that instead

you got a good wifi, right?

[slim coral]

Yeah, I do

[fair blaze]

then use the wokada deiteris fork kaggle

trying local will mostly result in a waste of time, AI can't run on bad hardware

[slim coral]

So when I use that, I'll be able to use real-time voice changers for 30 hours per week free of charge, correct?

[fair blaze]

yes, you will also need to verify your phone number to google to get them tho

google does this to stop users from using alt accs to abuse their service

[slim coral]

Alright. Quick question

When you're done using the program, how do you shut it off so that it doesn't waste your hours?

[fair blaze]

there is a turn off session button

it will be more clear after the guide tho

[slim coral]

Alright

So I made an account, where do I input my number?

Never mind, I found it

Hey, Nick. I don't see the "notebook options" folder in the Notebook, where is it?

[fair blaze]

it has been renamed to "session options" recently

[slim coral]

Thank you so much, Nick! So now that's done, what's next?

This is my first time using cloud on a software, so I'm unsure on what to do next

[fair blaze]

did you follow https://docs.aihub.gg/rvc-voice-changer/cloud/w-okada-kaggle/ entirely?

[slim coral]

Not the whole thing, I have no prior experience with coding. How do you run the cells?

[fair blaze]

you don't have to cod eanything, you just click the "play" button at the top left of the cells

[slim coral]

So click "Run Current Cell", that will run everything in the order that's needed, and give it some time? Do you know how long that process will take?

[fair blaze]

i mean this pla button

also it can take some mins

depends

[fair blaze]

@slim coral any updates?

[slim coral]

just a question. if theres a certain model that im wanting to use for the voice changer where do i put it in the code?

[fair blaze]

You don't have to change anything in the code

You have to upload it in the web user interface

[slim coral]

Do you know how to do that?

And when I do get that working on the website, it will be real-time that I can use in voice chats like say Discord or Roblox, right?

[stiff coral]

read this part of guide to do so

https://docs.aihub.gg/rvc-voice-changer/local/deiteris-w-okada-fork/#discord--games

and this is the recommended virtual cable

https://docs.aihub.gg/rvc-voice-changer/local/deiteris-w-okada-fork/#a-virtual-audio-cable-vac-is-what-you-need-to-use-the-voice-changer-on-discord--games

[slim coral]

Alright, thanks. A question I have is for the certain models, Nick088 mentioned uploading it in the web user interface. What is that, exactly?

[slim coral]

So upon running the code, it generated a link and clicking it sent me here. Does that mean it works, and how can I import models and use the voice changer in real time?

[fair blaze]

this is the web user interface
