When it fits — and when it doesn’t

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support

   Silero Models primarily supports a limited set of languages, which may not cover all regional or less common languages needed by the application.

2. 02

   Complex setup for non-Python environments

   While Silero Models is easy to use in Python, integrating it into applications using other programming languages can be challenging due to lack of official support and documentation.

3. 03

   Performance degradation with large-scale deployments

   The models may not scale efficiently under heavy load or when synthesizing long texts, leading to increased latency and resource consumption.

4. 04

   Sparse community support and documentation

   The open-source nature of Silero Models means that the quality and depth of official documentation can vary, and community contributions may not always be up-to-date or comprehensive.
