will do!

They aren't public. Agreed on commercially viable, even in Pakistan, businesses are price sensitive, currently there priced realllly cheap (just because they are small).

Yes! First goal is to get coverage ASAP. I think it will be easy to get dialects in with current model architecture. The hard part will be LLMs catching up on producing consistent text that respects the linguistics as we drill deeper.

appreciate it!

Launched them through API. From a business perspective is to get adoption of voice apps in targeted regions. Some companies can now create voice agents etc.

Maybe will make another post in a month of all the cool products that have come out so far :)..

Hope so! It is great that it overall has a big impact on making knowledge more accessible (i.e Khan Academy using it to dub their content in minutes instead of weeks). But there are lots of other areas where it applies as well.

At the moment we are focused on making the models available through API so developers can make some cool things. We are actively monitoring to see if there is an opportunity that we will be better positioned to solve.

We are planning on hosting an online hackathon soon, so will suggest these things as ideas!

Gathering audio data online is not that hard, but getting it accurately labelled is challenging, as the speech understanding systems for those languages aren't there either, so we can't automatically do that

btw I did try to first make it with Pipecat and was having some annoying windows issues with getting libraries installed for daily etc. so I posted something that was easily reproducible for the tutorial...

wow did not know that! Do you feel there is gap in speech understanding here or personalization missing with current TTS?

Agreed!

Yes! I will keep track of this comment for the day we do :P
