🐸TTS is a library for advanced Text-to-Speech generation. It's built on the latest research, was designed to achieve the best trade-off among ease-of-training, speed and quality. 🐸TTS comes with pretrained models, tools for measuring dataset quality and already used in 20+ languages for products and research projects.

🐸TTS is tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with python >= 3.6, < 3.9.
If you are only interested in synthesizing speech with the released 🐸TTS models, installing from PyPI is the easiest option.
pip install TTSIf you plan to code or train models, clone 🐸TTS and install it locally.
git clone https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS
pip install -e .We use espeak-ng to convert graphemes to phonemes. You might need to install separately.
sudo apt-get install espeak-ngIf you are on Ubuntu (Debian), you can also run following commands for installation.
$ make system-deps # intended to be used on Ubuntu (Debian). Let us know if you have a diffent OS.
$ make installIf you are on Windows, 👑@GuyPaddock wrote installation instructions here.

"Recent research at Harvard has shown meditating for as little as 8 weeks can actually increase the grey matter in the parts of the brain responsible for emotional regulation and learning."

🐸TTS provides a generic dataloader easy to use for your custom dataset.
You just need to write a simple function to format the dataset. Check datasets/preprocess.py to see some examples.
After that, you need to set dataset fields in config.json.
Some of the public datasets that we successfully applied 🐸TTS:
After the installation, 🐸TTS provides a CLI interface for synthesizing speech using pre-trained models. You can either use your own model or the release models under 🐸TTS.
Listing released 🐸TTS models.
tts --list_modelsRun a tts and a vocoder model from the released model list. (Simply copy and paste the full model names from the list as arguments for the command below.)
tts --text "Text for TTS" \
--model_name "<type>/<language>/<dataset>/<model_name>" \
--vocoder_name "<type>/<language>/<dataset>/<model_name>" \
--out_path folder/to/save/output.wavRun your own TTS model (Using Griffin-Lim Vocoder)
tts --text "Text for TTS" \
--model_path path/to/model.pth.tar \
--config_path path/to/config.json \
--out_path folder/to/save/output.wavRun your own TTS and Vocoder models
tts --text "Text for TTS" \
--config_path path/to/config.json \
--model_path path/to/model.pth.tar \
--out_path folder/to/save/output.wav \
--vocoder_path path/to/vocoder.pth.tar \
--vocoder_config_path path/to/vocoder_config.jsonNote: You can use ./TTS/bin/synthesize.py if you prefer running tts from the TTS project folder.
Here you can find a CoLab notebook for a hands-on example, training LJSpeech. Or you can manually follow the guideline below.
To start with, split metadata.csv into train and validation subsets respectively metadata_train.csv and metadata_val.csv. Note that for text-to-speech, validation performance might be misleading since the loss value does not directly measure the voice quality to the human ear and it also does not measure the attention module performance. Therefore, running the model with new sentences and listening to the results is the best way to go.
shuf metadata.csv > metadata_shuf.csv
head -n 12000 metadata_shuf.csv > metadata_train.csv
tail -n 1100 metadata_shuf.csv > metadata_val.csv
To train a new model, you need to define your own config.json to define model details, trainin configuration and more (check the examples). Then call the corressponding train script.
For instance, in order to train a tacotron or tacotron2 model on LJSpeech dataset, follow these steps.
python TTS/bin/train_tacotron.py --config_path TTS/tts/configs/config.jsonTo fine-tune a model, use --restore_path.
python TTS/bin/train_tacotron.py --config_path TTS/tts/configs/config.json --restore_path /path/to/your/model.pth.tarTo continue an old training run, use --continue_path.
python TTS/bin/train_tacotron.py --continue_path /path/to/your/run_folder/For multi-GPU training, call distribute.py. It runs any provided train script in multi-GPU setting.
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0,1,4" python TTS/bin/distribute.py --script train_tacotron.py --config_path TTS/tts/configs/config.jsonEach run creates a new output folder accomodating used config.json, model checkpoints and tensorboard logs.
In case of any error or intercepted execution, if there is no checkpoint yet under the output folder, the whole folder is going to be removed.
You can also enjoy Tensorboard, if you point Tensorboard argument--logdir to the experiment folder.
