Yes we read the paper when it came out and reviewed the audios. We didnt find it good enough for adoption.
We didnt compare results with MMS in a systematic way coz it seems irrelevant.

I think the Voice Models market will be like eCommerce. There will be no global winner instead a few regional winners -- each being really big.
We plan to be one of those winners.

1. Offline models: Yes that is on the roadmap.
There is a big demand for them especially in interactive educational use-cases.
2. Urdu and Modern Hindi can be cross understood in spoken form. The authentic Hindi is much different though and I can't understand the press releases that are done in super authentic Hindi. The writing systems in Urdu and Hindi is completely different too, so even if there is a great TTS system in Hindi, I cant use it. Accent are very different too.
