This repo is currently reserved but not active in the JibarOS manifest.
JibarOS v0.6.9 runs Piper text-to-speech through platform_external_onnxruntime — oird loads the Piper .onnx voice model directly via ONNX Runtime. No separate Piper runtime is required today.
This repo is a placeholder in case we later need native Piper integration (custom G2P, new voice formats, Piper CLI tools on-device). Not currently wired into jibar-os/manifest.
platform_external_onnxruntime— the runtime that actually executes Piper voices today.docs/MODELS.md— howaudio.synthesizeis wired.
🚧 No active source import planned. Not on v1.0 critical path.
