Tounsi

Tunisian-dialect speech platform

A speech platform for the Tunisian dialect: gamified voice collection, a Python data pipeline and a fine-tuned Arabic TTS model.

What I built

Gamified data collection: weekly themed tournaments, per-recording scoring, cash prizes for top contributors.
4,000+ validated clips from 45 voices.
Python pipeline turning raw recordings into training data: noise trimming, resampling, loudness normalisation, transcript alignment, versioned datasets.
Fine-tuned an Arabic VITS TTS model (MMS-TTS base) on rented GPUs to build a Tunisian voice layer.
Anti-fraud quality gate: SNR, voice activity and duplicate detection filter out fake submissions.
