Folks, Do you know of any Tamil people or any linguist that are passionate about formant synthesis? I'm thinking about improving the existing multilingual formant synthesis TTS called eSpeak, or even maybe creating a new one if there are no formant synthesis that catered for Tamil language. I know there are many concatenative synthesis, one such from Vocalizer that supports Tamil language. (1/2)

There are also many AI TTS created by folks at 11 Labs and other open source implementations that support speech to text and text to speech. But I'm looking for traditional formant synthesis implementation. Do we have existing phonemizer or any sort of that that can aid Tamil TTS creation? #tamil #tts #linguist #language #formant (2/2)
