## Decision facts: voice-pro

- **Adopt for:** Voice-Pro utilizes Gradio WebUI to offer TTS engines, zero-shot voice cloning, audio processing tools, with YouTube downloading and vocal isolation features.

## Decision facts: dc_tts

- **Requirements:** Depends on TensorFlow >=1.3 and has compatibility issues with updated APIs for `tf.contrib.layers.layer_norm`.; Requires Python packages like NumPy, librosa, tqdm, matplotlib, and scipy.
- **Adopt for:** dc_tts is a text-to-speech model based on TensorFlow and requires specific version dependencies.

## Choose when

### Choose voice-pro if…

- License: voice-pro is GPL-3.0, dc_tts is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to voice-pro: audiobook, faster-whisper, gradio, karaoke.
- For multilingual audiobook creation with integrated translation capabilities

### Choose dc_tts if…

- License: dc_tts is Apache-2.0, voice-pro is GPL-3.0.
- Requirements: Depends on TensorFlow >=1.3 and has compatibility issues with updated APIs for `tf.contrib.layers.layer_norm`.; Requires Python packages like NumPy, librosa, tqdm, matplotlib, and scipy..
- Tags unique to dc_tts: speech, tensorflow, tts.
- dc_tts is a text-to-speech model based on TensorFlow and requires specific version dependencies.

## When NOT to use voice-pro

- For users prioritizing a fully offline experience due to the need for internet access during model download and use
- If only basic speech synthesis without advanced voice cloning or audio processing is required, as Voice-Pro supports more complex workflows

## When NOT to use dc_tts

- Last GitHub push was Apr 14, 2023 (dormant maintenance). Validate activity before betting a new project on dc_tts.
