The dependencies are far too large for use on embedded systems

[AdamWelch1]

If the purpose is to develop TTS that can be run on resource-constrained embedded systems, then you really need to do something about all the dependencies that are pulled in by the setup script. I was trying to benchmark this on a system that only has a 16Gb disk and this eats up almost all of the remaining free space.

As it stands, this is utterly unusable on the very systems it's supposed to be used on.

:) that is actually what https://github.com/gooofy/zerovox.cpp.git was for - however, given the rapid progress other TTS projects are making at this point I am questioning whether zerovox still has a future. For me, it was a very interesting adventure and tought me a lot about building and training AI systems - however I am very tempted to shut down this project and this point as I suspect there are more modern, better alternatives out there.
