Text-to-Speech (TTS) with Tacotron2 trained on Luganda CommonVoice

This repository provides all the necessary tools for Text-to-Speech (TTS) with SpeechBrain.

The pre-trained model takes in input a short text and produces a spectrogram in output. One can get the final waveform by applying a vocoder (e.g., HiFIGAN) on top of the generated spectrogram.

Install SpeechBrain

pip install speechbrain

Perform Text-to-Speech (TTS)

import torchaudio
from speechbrain.inference.TTS import Tacotron2
from speechbrain.inference.vocoders import HIFIGAN

# Intialize TTS (tacotron2) and Vocoder (HiFIGAN)
tacotron2 = Tacotron2.from_hparams(source="sulaimank/tacotron2-cv-females", savedir="tmpdir_tts")
hifi_gan = HIFIGAN.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/tts-hifigan-ljspeech", savedir="tmpdir_vocoder")

# Running the TTS
mel_output, mel_length, alignment = tacotron2.encode_text("Eddagala eryo lisigala mu nnyaanya okumala wiiki nga bbiri.")

# Running Vocoder (spectrogram-to-waveform)
waveforms = hifi_gan.decode_batch(mel_output)

# Save the waverform
torchaudio.save('example_TTS.wav',waveforms.squeeze(1), 22050)

If you want to generate multiple sentences in one-shot, you can do in this way:

from speechbrain.pretrained import Tacotron2
tacotron2 = Tacotron2.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/TTS_Tacotron2", savedir="tmpdir")
items = [
       "A quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog",
       "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?",
       "Never odd or even"
     ]
mel_outputs, mel_lengths, alignments = tacotron2.encode_batch(items)
