Forum Discussion
Developers are excited about the potential of this new system, with one user stating:
I made a little python wrapper around it to serve an HTTP endpoint that’s OpenAI/elevenlabs compatible
Challenges and Comparisons
Others have noted that while the system shows promise, accuracy is still a concern:
Do you have any accuracy benchmarks? I’ve worked in this space. TTS in a small footprint isn’t the hard part —- it’s doing it accurately that’s hard.
Comparison to existing systems like flite has also been made, with some users hoping this new system will address the limitations of flite.
