I was wondering as the piper tts works with rule based phonemizer can I replace it with neural g2p, so it is more robust and adaptable to Any

accents

I see many tts todays like orpheus, dia tts and sesame ai tts, and maybe eleven labs. the all have language model in btw the architecture , that helps drive the natural prosody, laughs, sighs etc. I was wondering can piper tts be engineered in that way

I was thinking the same of adding more phonemizers to it. Technically eSpeakNG is optional, but because of... aha, license conflict detected! Maybe that phonemizer you've requested or some others I don't know?
