Problem Description
As it stands for now, the RNE implementation of the Kokoro model supports 2 languages: 🇺🇸 American English and 🇬🇧 British English. Hovewer, the Kokoro model itself provides a support for many other languages, such as:
There is also a possibility of adding an external language, not supported by Kokoro originally, by finetuning the model and training a new voice.
What should be done
In case of a language already supported by Kokoro:
- Implement phonemization for given language in the phonemization package
In case of an external language:
- Implement phonemization for given language in the phonemization package
- Select an appropriate dataset containing speech samples for given language
- Finetune the model to produce a new voice for given language
Benefits to React Native ExecuTorch
Expands the Text to Speech function accessability for non-english users.

As it stands for now, the RNE implementation of the Kokoro model supports 2 languages: 🇺🇸 American English and 🇬🇧 British English. Hovewer, the Kokoro model itself provides a support for many other languages, such as:
The only significant requirement to support those languages is to provide an appropriate phonemization, similar to the one for English.
There is also a possibility of adding an external language, not supported by Kokoro originally, by finetuning the model and training a new voice.
What should be done
In case of a language already supported by Kokoro:
In case of an external language:
