"Do you know if using a target voice file needs a lot of more time for the conversion? The target voice file size influence in this time?

I'm using now a target voice file and is needing a lot more time than without it for the same book. The file size is 60 sec mp3."

That shouldn't effect the speed

Because --->

• Adding a target Voice shouldn't affect the speed of it as long as it's not like a giant file.

• Your 60 second mp3 file shouldn't really affect the speed because the text to speech (XTTS), it doesn't actually work without a target Voice lol

• What you don't see, is that in the backend I have a pre-set default target voice, which (XTTS) will use if no target voice is set by the user.
