Could you build this?
No Training a custom lightweight flow-matching/diffusion text-to-speech model from scratch for Brazilian Portuguese requires substantial ML research and audio dataset preparation.
What it would actually take: Requires collecting and cleaning hundreds of hours of high-quality, phonetically balanced Brazilian Portuguese speech data with text normalization for numbers/currency. The architecture uses modern Flow-Matching or Diffusion-Transformer models (PyTorch) optimized down to 21M parameters, trained on multi-GPU clusters. Achieving 76x real-time inference and high MOS with low WER requires deep speech ML expertise and acoustic engineering.
