Could you build this?
No Designing and training custom 4M-9M parameter neural text-to-speech models requires deep machine learning audio synthesis research and high-quality speech dataset pipelines.
What it would actually take: Building this requires specialized deep learning audio expertise: designing efficient neural acoustic and vocoder architectures (e.g., flow-matching or lightweight diffusion), gathering and cleaning multi-speaker audio datasets, training on GPU clusters (PyTorch), and quantizing the resulting weights for execution via ONNX Runtime Web and WebAssembly.
