The work targets Thai, a low-resource language, and frames the approach as a way to turn a small amount of data into a fixed-voice system.", "body_md": "In low-resource settings, deploying TTS typically requires choosing between a large voice-cloning model with costly inference or a compact fixed-voice system that requires a speaker-specific corpus.
