                                            Welcome to the Pony Voice Preservation Project!

                                            The Pony Preservation Project is a collaborative effort by /mlp/ to build and curate pony datasets for as many applications in AI as possible.


                                            Technology has progressed such that a trained neural network can generate convincing voice clips, drawings and text for any person or character using existing audio recordings, artwork and fanfics as a reference. As you can surely imagine, AI pony voices, drawings and text have endless applications for pony content creation.


                                            AI is incredibly versatile, basically anything that can be boiled down to a simple dataset can be used for training to create more of it. AI-generated images, fanfics, wAIfu chatbots and even animation are possible, and are being worked on here.


                                            Any anon is free to join, and there are many active tasks that would suit any level of technical expertise. If you’re interested in helping out, take a look at the quick start guide linked below and ask in the thread for any further detail you need.

                                            >How can I help with the PPP?

                                            Build datasets, train AIs, and use the AI to make more pony content. Take a look at the quick start guide for current active tasks, or start your own in the thread if you have an idea. There’s always more data to collect and more AIs to train.


                                            >Did you know that such and such voiced this other thing that could be used for voice data?

                                            It is best to keep to official audio only unless there is very little of it available. If you know of a good source of audio for characters with few (or just fewer) lines, please post it in the thread. 5.1 is generally required unless you have a source already clean of background noise. Preferably post a sample or link. The easier you make it, the more likely it will be done.


                                            >What about fan-imitations of official voices?

                                            No.


                                            >Will you guys be doing a [insert language here] version of the AI?

                                            Probably not, but you're welcome to. You can however get most of the way there by using phonetic transcriptions of other languages as input for the AI.


                                            >What about [insert OC here]'s voice?

                                            It is often quite difficult to find good quality audio data for OCs. If you happen to know any, post them in the thread and we’ll take a look.


                                            >I have an idea!

                                            Great. Post it in the thread and we'll discuss it.
