Taiwanese speakers and open speech-tool builders
Worth noticing
The v0.1 model was fine-tuned on about 15,000 Ministry of Education dictionary example sentences; the page says longer speech remains unnatural.

Field notes

The v0.1 model starts from open CosyVoice2-0.5B and is fine-tuned on roughly 15,000 example sentences from the Ministry of Education dictionary. The page says those short readings leave longer sentences and everyday cadence unnatural; it identifies Common Voice Taiwanese (21.6 hours, 279 speakers), a spoken Bible corpus (83 hours), and TaigiSpeech (3,105 sentences) as next-version material, not v0.1 training data.
