Debundle network voices #87

Closed lumpidu closed 9 months ago

lumpidu commented 2 years ago

With the current 2 neural network voices Álfur + Díljá inside the app assets, we are almost at the upper edge of what Google Play accepts as max. app size. As we have a few more on-device voices in the pipeline, we need to make these available as downloads.

We should bundle these together with meta data and sample .wav files and make them available as voice releases on simaromur_voices. Any new version of a voice should be detected by Símarómur and marked as updatable, so that the user can update an already downloaded voice.

In the end, the app should just contain the bare minimum assets. Voices should be downloaded to Android phone external storage and used from there.
