YarnGPT

Text-to-speech for Nigerian languages and accents.

About

YarnGPT is a text-to-speech system built for Nigerian languages and accents. It synthesizes Nigerian-accented English plus Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa, with tools to turn text, web pages, documents, and video into spoken audio. The models are published on Hugging Face by Saheed Azeez (saheedniyi), with a product surface at yarngpt.ai for creators who need culturally accurate speech rather than generic global TTS voices.
