WaZoBia Sovereign Audio Studio timeline
Samuel Olubukun’s WaZoBia Sovereign Audio Studio provides three interfaces: XTTS-v2 voice cloning, Chatterbox conversational text-to-speech and Moonshine-Tiny transcription. Its English documentation describes 15 fine-tuned model options across Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba, with both platform voices and custom reference-audio input.
The Space was first deployed October 14. Its live model registry lists 15 entries, and the interface loaded during editorial review. The documentation also describes OpenAI-compatible speech and transcription routes. These checks establish access to the interface and registry, not generation quality, complete client compatibility or a successful inference run. The author frames the suite for non-commercial research; component and dataset terms also apply.
