Hey there,
I received the information that new TTS was out and our company is a heavy user of it.
After reading through the news, I can't lie, I got so excited.
I jumped in the studio to test it right away.
So, now you can add prononciations which is awesome. As a Swiss resident, I tested the `CHF` to `Franc` (fʁɑ̃).
When entering the `f ʁ ɑ̃` in the prononciations, I got no error, input was satisfied but when I tried to generate the speech, an error occurred and by checking the network, I got this:
```
{"model":"voxtral-mini-tts-3-0","stream":false,"voice_id":"voice_3150","input":"Just a simple test","response_format":"wav","expressiveness":1,"phoneme_hints":{"CHF":["f","ʁ","ɑ̃"]}}
```
Nothing really breaking, just seems like the input is not checking the same characters as the API expects (or formatting through HTTP broke it idk).
And then.. comes the real thing.
I tried this text:
```
[emotion=angry]Tu m'avais dit que ça coûterais que 30 CHF. [sigh]
[emotion=amused] Pardon, j'aurais pas du m'emporter.
[pace=very-fast] Je parle super vite bonjour Sandrine !
[pace=very-slow] Et maintenant très lentement.
```
With settings:
```
Model: Voxtral Mini TTS 3.0
Word synchronisation: On
Voice: Marie
Expressiveness: Max (5)
Prononciation: `CHF - f ɹ ɑ ŋ`
Context: None
```
And I got this piece of art: https://voca.ro/1lo9CWJ0vEaJ
While this made me laugh hard and my colleagues too, I feel like there something off.
I tried many different texts with different languages to see if emotions and pace were being picked up and.. doesn't seem like it.
I don't know if this will be of any help for you guys. Just know that we are very very hyped for it to work.
If any more informations is needed I am open to answer as much information as I can.
Thank you very much.
