Replica shutdown

Replica has shut down as the time I am writing this.

Is there any way to replace replica.

That's a pity. I will investigate alternatives. The easiest is probably to use elevenlabs.io for now and download the respective audio files from there.

What about the stories?

The automatic story text to speech currently relies on Replica to automatically generate all spoken parts and voices. I do internally support other TTS backends, like Google & MS. I will do an experiment next week if that is a viable option to switch to also for story mode. Would be nice to have that working as stories is an incredibly powerful feature for world building and narration.
