I spent a couple of hours debugging why jupyter's debugger wasn't working right, so not exactly related to the code. I did also find and fix that utils bug you mentioned. But my current issue is that phonemizer won't find espeak even though I set the environment variables that are supposed to work. I'll figure it out eventually...

Thanks for writing up your experience! Good to know it works! And it's fast!

Are you on Windows? I've had the issue and was able to fix it by manually adding these system variables:

  PHONEMIZER_ESPEAK_LIBRARY = c:\Program Files\eSpeak NG\libespeak-ng.dll

  PHONEMIZER_ESPEAK_PATH = c:\Program Files\eSpeak NG

Yes I'm on Windows at the moment. I did try setting those yesterday but I must have made a typo or something. I'll try again, thanks!

Edit: Got it working, sounds really great and is super fast as advertised. Amazing! Just tried modifying the code to make it speak more quickly and it worked first try and still sounds good too! This is way better than using Coqui TTS. Just need a few more pretrained models and the voice cloning that was in the paper and this will become super popular very quickly.
