 Overview
-The F5-TTS model has been fine-tuned specifically for Arabic language speech synthesis. This project aims to deliver high-quality, regionally diverse speech synthesis capabilities for Arabic speakers. The fine-tuning process is ongoing, and temporary checkpoints are being shared as progress is made. Once better results are obtained, updated checkpoints will be uploaded.
+This project fine-tunes the F5-TTS model for high-quality Arabic speech synthesis, incorporating regional diversity in pronunciation and accents. The fine-tuning process is ongoing, and temporary checkpoints are provided as progress updates. Future iterations will include improved models with enhanced accuracy and naturalness.

 Datasets
-The following dataset was used for training:
-
-Common Voice Arabic Dataset : A crowdsourced dataset containing diverse Arabic accents and dialects.
-Additional datasets may be incorporated in future iterations to improve the model's performance across various Arabic dialects.
+Training is based on the Common Voice Arabic Dataset, a crowdsourced dataset featuring diverse Arabic accents and dialects. Additional datasets may be incorporated in future updates to improve dialectal coverage and pronunciation accuracy.
