Frequently asked
Is translation the right service for tts voice building?
It covers 10-40 hours from one speaker, or multi-speaker sets. Most tts voice building programmes combine it with at least one other service; we will say so in the scope rather than selling one line item.
What languages are available?
All 14 languages in the network plus Indian English accent bands.
How is the evaluation set handled?
Collected first, from speakers disjoint from the training cohort, so improvement is measurable.
