Why the limit?

[Zibri]

I tried to generate a file in italian language.
I got this warning/error:

[!] Warning: The text length exceeds the character limit of 213 for language 'it', this might cause truncated audio.

Why is there a limit if the process is on the local machine?

[erogol]

because model cannot processes longer text.

I ran into that as well. I do the lazy method like this:

$ tts --model_name tts_models/multilingual/multi-dataset/xtts_v2 --out_path output/my_wav.wav --text "$(cat my_file.txt)" --speaker_idx "Viktor Eka" --language_idx en

Do I need to write a Python script to handle text length? (is this command line behaviour intentional?)

Splitting may work but its bad practice

[esrasaif]

is it right to fine tunning the model to make the length longer or split the text and generate chuncks of the voice then connecting them ??
