Voice model is built on [audio books](https://www.youtube.com/@LatvijasNeredzigobiblioteka) of [Latvijas Neredzīgo bibliotēka](https://neredzigobiblioteka.lv/). For privacy reasons the original voices in the recordings have been cloned to a LibriVox voice that you hear in the model and sample recordings. Audio book recordings are used with permission from Latvijas Neredzīgo bibliotēka.

You are free to use it for any purpose, including commercial, no strings attached.
