[REQUEST]Add new language for TTS - Latvian #574

Open andzejsp opened 1 month ago

andzejsp commented 1 month ago

Hey, thank you for this project. It works great, and real fast with homeassistant.

I wanted to let my family members use voice assist but they are not english speaking, and so i was wondering if piper could support Latvian language.

There is already a tts mode based on vits: https://aimodels.org/ai-models/text-to-speech-synthesis/latvian-female-tts-model-vits-encoding-trained-on-cv-dataset-at-22050hz/

Its not super perfect but it works.

But i have no knowledge on how to add it to piper.. is there a way to get this one somehow transformed into the piper model: vits to onnx ??

Thank you
