@GrapheneOS very very cool!

@GrapheneOS Will this eventually support more than English?

@GrapheneOS Fantastic! Will this allow us to use voice input for Android Auto without downloading Google's TTS engine? If not, are there plans to do so? Thanks!

We're going to build our own speech-to-text implementation to go along with this too. We're starting with an English model for both but we can add other languages which have high quality training data available. English and Mandarin have by far the most training data available.

Existing implementations of text-to-speech and speech-to-text didn't meet our functionality or usability requirements. We want at least very high quality, low latency and robust implementations of both for English included in the OS. It will help make GrapheneOS more accessible.

@GrapheneOS For German there is "Thorsten Voice" with an Open Dataset.

Our full time developer working on this already built their own Transcribro app for on-device speech-to-text available in the Accrescent app store. For GrapheneOS itself, we want actual open source implementations of these features rather than OpenAI's phony open source though.

@rodirik @GrapheneOS oh hell yeah
I’m learning German so not having that would be mildly annoying

Whisper is actually closed source. Open weights is another way of saying permissively licensed closed source. Our implementation of both text-to-speech and speech-to-text will be actual open source which means people can actually fork it and add/change/remove training data, etc.

@GrapheneOS
This is a great addition. I have been using Sherpa TTS https://
github.com/woheller69/ttsengine and Futo Keyboard for STT. https://keyboard.futo.org/ -

@GrapheneOS i could help with spanish and esperanto models if needed

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social Well, some times ago, open-source TTS was pretty lacking, but now Kaldi / Sherpa is pretty good, did you check it? If yes, what was the problem with it?

@breizh It wasn't quite good enough and has very high latency which makes it unsuitable for use with TalkBack. We're making this because existing options including Sherpa don't meet our requirements. Otherwise, we could have forked those. It made more sense to make our own instead which we'll be able to continue improving long term. It's similar to our network location and geocoding implementations where we want things done a particular way focused on high quality in all areas we care about.

@GrapheneOS Fascinating is the text to speech and vice versa model and code you’re working on platform specific?
