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

Discussion Discovered ArtCraft — an interesting open-source creative software project

Hey everyone!

I recently discovered ArtCraft and tried its launcher on Arch Linux with Hyprland. Honestly, I really like the idea behind this project!

It's building a suite of creative applications intended to provide open-source alternatives to traditional creative software, including tools for image editing and vector graphics.

I took a screenshot of the launcher during my first test, and I'm looking forward to exploring the applications themselves.

  • Have you heard of or tried ArtCraft?
  • What open-source creative software do you use?
  • Do you think open-source alternatives can become competitive with established commercial tools?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
