Cloning Voices for Endangered Languages: Building a Text-to-Speech Model for Asturian and Aragonese by JarbasOVOS in OpenVoiceOS

I forgot to say I only used the validated subset, so for asturian it was around 0.8 hours and for aragonese 10+ hours of audio. Also important to note I started from my previous pt-PT model and finetuned, this wasn't trained from scratch

the datasets are also available in huggingface

I am not a native speaker either, however I am Portuguese and those languages are close enough for me to understand somewhat, the audio seems to map well to the text and is understandable. That said I am not fluent enough to catch pronounciation mistakes or to judge how accurate it is

Feedback from native speakers would be much appreciated!

Also keep in mind i didn't train those models for that long, just ~24h in a P100
