I have several tapes (yes actual cassette tapes) of my grandfather reading a novel.

Unfortunately a few of the tapes have degraded to the point that I cannot play them back.

I would love to recreate his voice, to “rerecord” the missing bits.

The recordings are in Danish.

Is this possible?

If it is, how can I go about it?

    If you have material with him speaking in English, you might be able to train an xtts model on it and then use that to bypass the elvenlabs captcha but I’m not sure if they give enough time. Although GPU rental is cheap these days, so captcha time is less of a factor.

    If anything, the tech is moving quite fast, it will definitely be easier in a few years, maybe even months.
