With something like this I can even try to make a more accurate voice than the one I already have, and tailor it to my liking!

Thing is, the voice is in .pth format, and on Kokoro's huggingface page, their voices are all .pt.

Would I be able to use this voice I already have with Kokoro? If not, is there any way to convert it? I could always go looking if someone made this specific voice but in .pt format, but I barely mess with AI and don't know how I could search for this.
