Marathi TTS improved with Llama 3.1 8B LoRA and IndicF5

A developer has detailed their process for creating a more natural-sounding Text-to-Speech (TTS) system for the Marathi language. The project involved cleaning and processing messy, code-switched Marathi text to train a local Llama 3.1 8B LoRA model.
