## 📚 Our Projects 

- **Future Projects**
  - None as of this current time

- **Current Projects**
  - A Large collection of projects surrounding TTS
    - Vokan-V2 - An iterative improvement on the Vokan TTS model, featuring several architectural improvements.
      - *More details soon...*
    - [VoPho](https://github.com/ShoukanLabs/VoPho) - A universal meta-library for phonemisation under the MIT license, with support for single language and multi-code text! These phonemisers go under an accuracy verification process, to esnure the outputs are sound.

  - [Vokan](https://huggingface.co/ShoukanLabs/Vokan) - An expressive StyleTTS2 finetune with better 0-shot capabilities
  - [OpenNiji](https://huggingface.co/ShoukanLabs/OpenNiji) - A finetune aimed at replicating Nijijourney on Stable Diffusion.
  - [OpenNiji-V2](https://huggingface.co/ShoukanLabs/OpenNiji-V2) - A second finetune made to replicate the Nijijourney style more accurately.
 
## 💡Our Philosophy
At ShoukanLabs, we believe in:

- Contributing to the community
