AI Voice Expert Needed for Custom Multilingual TTS Model

AI Voice Cloning & Multilingual Speech Synthesis (Open-Source Only / Mozilla TTS or Tacotron)

Title: AI Voice Expert Needed for Custom Multilingual TTS Model Using Open-Source Tools – $500 Budget

Project Overview:

We are developing an AI-powered oracle called the Babalawo, which will provide multilingual spoken responses in a custom voice. We need an AI specialist to clone a specific voice from provided recordings and integrate it into a text-to-speech (TTS) model using only open-source solutions (no proprietary services like ElevenLabs or Microsoft Azure).

Project Requirements:

We are looking for a freelancer who can:

- Clone a specific voice from at least 2+ hours of provided clean speech data.
- Ensure multilingual speech synthesis (English, French, Swahili, Arabic preferred).
- Train or fine-tune a custom AI voice modelusing open-source TTS frameworks such as Coqui AI or Vits models.
- Optimize pronunciation, intonation, and expressiveness for natural, human-like speech.
- Provide an offline, locally deployable model (no reliance on cloud-based services).

Ideal Candidate Should Have:

- Experience with open-source AI voice synthesis tools (Mozilla TTS, Tacotron, or similar).
- Knowledge of voice cloning techniques and TTS model fine-tuning.
- Ability to work with multilingual speech synthesis and phoneme adjustments.
- Experience in deploying TTS models locally without cloud dependencies.

Deliverables:

- A fully trained custom TTS model replicating the provided voice.
- Multilingual speech synthesis in at least 3 languages (English, French, Yoruba).
- A local deployment setup that can run offline and be fully hosted on our server (self-hosted, no API reliance).
- A brief technical guide on how to use, modify, and maintain the model.

Budget & Timeline:

- Budget: €200 (fixed).
- Timeline: 3 weeks from project start.

How to Apply:

- Please send:
- A brief overview of your experience with open-source AI voice cloning and TTS models.
- Examples of past projects (if available).
- Your preferred open-source tools for achieving this project.
- Your approach to ensuring high-quality, expressive, and multilingual speech synthesis.

Looking forward to collaborating with a skilled expert!
