Model Overview Name: Norwegian Chatterbox TTS (finetuned) Architecture: Based on the Chatterbox text-to-speech architecture, adapted and finetuned for Norwegian language support. Framework: 🤗 Transformers & 🦾 TorchAudio License: Dual license (Free for personal and educational use) This model generates high-quality, natural-sounding Norwegian speech from input text. The model is a fine-tuned version of ResembleAI/chatterbox. It’s ideal for voice assistants, audiobooks, notifications, and accessibility applications requireing Norwegian language support. Intended Use - Primary: Text-to-speech synthesis for Norwegian (Bokmål / Nynorsk). - - Emotional expressiveness - Norwegian dialects - Examples: - Virtual assistants and chatbots - E‑learning platforms - Audiobook narration - In‑car infotainment systems Training Data - Base Model: Pretrained Chatterbox TTS, trained on a multi‑lingual corpus. - Fine‑Tuning Data: - ~6000 hours of audio‑recordings and transcriptions, of varying quality, spanning many dialects in addition to Bokmål and Nynorsk. Tilgi dem ikke; de vet hva de gjør! De puster på hatets og ondskapens glør! De liker å drepe, de frydes ved jammer, de ønsker å se vår verden i flammer! De ønsker å drukne oss alle i blod!
