🗣️ Fon Text-to-Speech (TTS) with Meta MMS

This Space uses Meta AI's facebook/mms-tts-fon model to synthesize speech in the Fon language. The model is part of the Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) project.

Fon is a Gbe language spoken in Benin and Togo. This demo allows you to input Fon text and hear the synthesized audio output.

🔧 How to Use:

Type a sentence in Fon (Latin script, tone markers optional).
Press Submit or hit Enter.
Wait a few seconds for audio synthesis.
Listen or download the audio.

📜 Rules & Notes:

Input should be in Fon only (avoid English or other languages).
You may enter as much text as you want, but long inputs may slow processing. Short to medium sentences are recommended.
Use correct Unicode characters (ɛ, ɔ, etc.) if tones are important.
Tone marks like à, é, ǒ, ê are supported but optional.
Output uses a single female voice (pretrained by Meta).
Audio is generated at the model’s default sampling rate (may vary by version).
Model is intended for research and demonstration only.
Do not use for commercial purposes without permission.
