Introduction to RVC-WebUI
RVC-WebUI is an innovative reconstruction project derived from the original work, liujing04/Retrieval-based-Voice-Conversion-WebUI. This project provides an easy-to-use interface for users interested in voice conversion. Voice conversion is a fascinating technology that allows you to change the voice characteristics of an audio input, making it sound like another person's voice without altering the spoken content. This means you can transform a voice recording to have the unique characteristics of someone else's voice, opening up exciting possibilities in fields like entertainment, accessibility, and digital content creation.
Getting Started
RVC-WebUI offers straightforward installation and launching procedures for users across different operating systems.
For Windows Users
To get started on a Windows machine, the process is quite simple. You need to locate the file named webui-user.bat and double-click it. This action will initiate the WebUI, and you'll be ready to explore its features.
For Linux or Mac Users
For those using either Linux or Mac systems, the way to start the application is equally uncomplicated. By running the webui.sh script, users can launch the WebUI and gain access to its functionalities.
System Requirements
The development team has tested the application on systems running Windows 10, with Python version 3.10.9, and Torch version 2.0.0+cu118. It's important to ensure compatibility by checking these system requirements, or making adjustments if needed, for a seamless user experience.
Troubleshooting
While setting up the WebUI, users might encounter a common issue related to Microsoft Visual C++:
Error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or Greater is Required
To resolve this, users must install the Microsoft C++ Build Tools. Here is a quick guide on how to do this:
-
Download the Installer: Begin by downloading the installer from the official Visual Studio website.
-
Install C++ Build Tools: After downloading, run the installer. During the installation process, make sure to select
