Worth noticing
Its text-normalization layer expands KES amounts, phone numbers, paybills, dates, percentages, and times before synthesis.

Field notes

The described pipeline expands Kenyan formats such as KES amounts and paybills before synthesis, and handles each sentence in its own language when English and Kiswahili are mixed. A Kiswahili editor maintains a lexicon for local names and brands; users can also define pronunciations. The page says the first actor-recorded voices are still being made, with workspace access offered once they are ready.
