Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping a TTS model into a Docker container with a FastAPI streaming endpoint is vibe-codeable, but training or fine-tuning high-quality Turkish neural text-to-speech models requires ML expertise and audio data.
What it would actually take: The server uses FastAPI or gRPC wrapped around an ONNX Runtime or PyTorch inference engine (e.g., Piper, VITS, or XTTS) optimized for streaming audio. The difficult part is sourcing phonemized Turkish audio datasets and training/fine-tuning a low-latency acoustic/vocoder neural model. Developing this requires specialized ML engineering, audio signal processing knowledge, and GPU training resources.
