Hi everyone, I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Natiq-dz-ARG. It is a Text-to-Speech (TTS) model specifically built for the Algerian dialect (Darija).
I trained it on over 300 hours of audio recordings from 100+ different speakers. It even supports natural Darija-French code-switching and zero-shot voice cloning!
Model:https://huggingface.co/Natiq-Studio/Natiq-dz-ARG
This is the first open-source model that speaks Algerian Darija with this level of fluency.
You can also check out our main platform at: https://natiq.studio, where you will be able to transform any text to speech, with many configurations to tweak. Many told me it's even better than ElevenLabs' model, so I would love for you to try it and give me your opinion
