great idea, we'll do that too. we just decided to launch an onnx first and get some feedback. we'll be simplifying the process of running it everywhere including a command line executable.

yes, indeed. we are working on adding mit licensed phonemizers too by this weekend, so you'll be able to use these models as you like :)

for that, a 100KB model could be enough ;)

glad you liked it, thank you so much for the kind words. our team is really good at squeezing performance out of small models. we are working on a new launch and hope to release a technical report along with that which includes details. fyi, our current 14M model is better than our previous 80M model. and we expect this trend to continue.
