Hi Orpheus team,

First of all, thank you for releasing Orpheus-TTS and the new multilingual models. The quality is amazing and the open-source license makes a huge difference for independent creators and small teams.

I would like to request official support for Brazilian Portuguese voices/models.

Context:

  • I am a content creator and developer based in Brazil, using Orpheus-FastAPI locally for long-form YouTube videos and automations.
  • There is a very large community of Portuguese speakers (Brazil + Portugal + other Lusophone countries) that would benefit from high-quality PT-BR TTS for education, podcasts, audiobooks, customer support and accessibility.
  • Today we can get “okay” results by writing in Portuguese and using Spanish voices like maria / javi / sergio, but it’s still noticeably Spanish and not natural Brazilian Portuguese.

What would be amazing:

  • One or more native-sounding Brazilian Portuguese voices (male and female) included in the official multilingual release.
  • Ideally, a dedicated PT-BR fine-tuned checkpoint or LoRA that the community can also run locally (GGUF / Hugging Face format).
  • Even an experimental or research preview model would already help a lot; I am happy to test early versions and provide feedback/samples from real-world use cases.

I know language support depends on data and priorities, but PT-BR would unlock a huge new user base for Orpheus. Thank you again for the great work, and please consider adding Brazilian Portuguese to the roadmap.
