Sharing something I built and genuinely want feedback on, not a launch. Banter 1 is a text to speech model focused on sounding natural in Arabic and English, including switching between them in one sentence without robotic seams. Demo: https://theclevr.com
My reason for building it: Arabic has been a blind spot in AI voice for a long time. A lot of tools treat English as the main event and everything else as a bolt on, so the prosody and pronunciation feel mechanical.
Where I want the honest take: does the Arabic sound natural to native speakers, and what do you think is still the real weak spot for non English voice today, dialects, emotion, or code switching?
