Hi,
First of all, amazing work on this project! Im little bit new to this kinda github things and I've been using it to build a GLaDOS-like assistant, and it works great with the default English setup.
I'm currently trying to adapt it to work with a French voice model (https://github.com/TazzerMAN/piper-voice-glados-fr). However, I'm hitting a roadblock because of the hardcoded dependency on phonemizer_en.onnx inside the SpeechSynthesizer / Phonemizer classes. The pipeline forces the text through the English phonemizer, which results in the French voice outputting unintelligible sounds.
My questions are:
Do you have any plans to support non-English phonemizers or to allow the user to select the phonemizer backend?
If not, could you point me to the cleanest way to refactor the tts_glados.py file to bypass the internal Phonemizer class and use direct subprocess calls to the piper binary instead?
Any guidance on how to modify the codebase to support multi-language/non-English models would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time and your great work!
