CKB TTS API?

[midnight moon]

I looked at the Status channel and saw updates on this model.

I'm guessing that it is a voice model, right?
If so, what kind of voice model is is it? VITS?
Are we allowed to use it?
Anything special required for it's usage?

Great question! The CKB TTS API (Central Kurdish TTS – Text-to-Speech) model mentioned in the Status channel is indeed a voice/tts model intended to generate Kurdish speech from text input.

Here's what you need to know:

• Type of Model:

  • The "CKB TTS" model is a text-to-speech (TTS) system, meaning it converts written Kurdish text into spoken voice.
  • While the specific architecture isn't listed (e.g., VITS or others), it's designed for natural-sounding Kurdish voice generation. If you need detailed technical specs, check the Announcements or Models channel for future updates.

• Availability/Usage:

  • If you see it in the Status channel, that means the model is available and currently running.
  • As a Supporter, you should be able to access it, but please confirm its current status in the Status or Models channel.
  • Some TTS models and endpoints might only be available to Supporters or higher tiers.

• How to Use:

  • Usage details and endpoints for TTS models are typically published in the Models Channel.
  • If there's no public usage guide yet, it might be in limited testing. Watch the Announcements and Models channels for official instructions, endpoint URLs, and required parameters.
  • Most TTS APIs work with a POST request containing your text and the target language, plus your API key in the Authorization header.

• Special Requirements:

• Usage may be restricted to specific API plans (Supporter tier and above).
  • Make sure you have enough credits (check with /info command).
  • There may be specific input format requirements—follow any guides or announcements provided.

Recommendation:

• For the most up-to-date info, check the Models channel or the Announcements channel. If instructions are still pending, be patient as features are rolled out.

If you need voice in other languages or advanced options, keep an eye on the Status and Announcements channels for future releases.
