feat(gallery): add all Italian + all UK English sherpa-onnx Piper voices - #10332
Merged
Conversation
Expands sherpa-onnx Piper TTS coverage in the model gallery. Previously only 5 single-speaker Piper voices shipped (it_IT-paola, en_US-amy, es_ES-davefx, fr_FR-siwis, de_DE-thorsten). This adds 19 entries: Italian (it_IT): dii-high, miro-high, riccardo-x_low. UK English (en_GB): alan (low+medium), alba-medium, aru-medium, cori (high+medium), dii-high, jenny_dioco-medium, miro-high, northern_english_male-medium, semaine-medium, southern_english_female (low+medium), southern_english_male-medium, vctk-medium, sweetbbak-amy. Each entry mirrors the existing Piper block (sherpa-onnx-tts.yaml base config). sha256, ONNX path, sample rate and speaker count were read from the actual release tarballs; licenses and source URLs were taken from each archive's MODEL_CARD/README rather than assumed: - dii/miro voices are OpenVoiceOS models under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (non-commercial), labelled as such in both the license field and description. - cori is LibriVox public-domain (cc0-1.0); OpenSLR-83 voices are CC BY-SA 4.0; alba/vctk are CC BY 4.0. - vctk (109), aru (12) and semaine (4) are multi-speaker; tagged accordingly with a note to select the speaker via the numeric voice id. The legacy underscore-named southern_english_female_medium duplicate is intentionally skipped. No backend change is needed: sherpa-onnx auto-detects single-speaker VITS vs Kokoro, and each tarball ships its own espeak-ng-data.
