# Luxembourgish Text-to-Speech Synthesizer

This is a text-to-speech synthesizer that uses the Piper TTS model to synthesize Luxembourgish text into speech. The project includes a Gradio interface that allows users to enter Luxembourgish text and hear the synthesized speech.


## Demo

You can try out the demo of this project on Hugging Face Spaces [here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/sekhan/demo-lux-piper-tts).

## Usage

To use the project, simply enter some Luxembourgish text into the input field and click the "Synthesize" button to hear the synthesized speech.

## Files

The project includes the following files:

- `app.py`: the main Python script that contains the code for the Gradio interface and the text-to-speech synthesizer.
- `requirements.txt`: a list of the necessary libraries and their versions.
- `.gitignore`: a file that excludes certain files and directories from being tracked by Git.
- `lu_rtl_high3000.onnx` and `lu_rtl_high3000.onnx.json`: the Piper TTS model and configuration files for Luxembourgish.
