The developers at Sapien are focusing on the Indian markets and have identified a lack of text-to-speech technology for conversational Hindi. They have found that while US accents from providers like elevenlabs and playHT are satisfactory, Indian accents available are narrative rather than conversational.

The team is considering developing a solution in-house, but are also open to using an existing solution if one is available. They are seeking recommendations for providers who offer low latency text-to-speech in conversational Hindi, or opinions on whether they should develop this technology themselves.
