How to add support for hindi language

Hey xttsv2 officially support hindi but not alltalktts is there any way to make it support hindi as well ?

Answer 1 · 2024-04-18T19:11:14.000Z

I didn't see any official listing for Hindi https://docs.coqui.ai/en/latest/models/xtts.html#languages and Coqui have made no official listing of Hindi that I can find.

I have however hunted a bit further, I can see it mentioned here https://huggingface.co/coqui/XTTS-v2

It looks like Hindi is a late & undocumented addition to the XTTSv2 2.0.3 model (AllTalk as standard downloads the 2.0.2 model, which doesn't have Hindi Support).

So, I have added Hindi in the relevant places throughout AllTalk and tested with the 2.0.3 model. There are problems however, Coqui have not updated all their scripts to support Hindi (based on my testing).

The XTTS Local method will not work with Hindi. As such, if you want to use Hindi to generate TTS, you would have to:

Download the XTTS v2.0.3 model over the top of the v2.0.2 model. https://huggingface.co/coqui/XTTS-v2/tree/v2.0.3 (all files)
When AllTalk has loaded you would have to switch the endpoint to use API TTS or set it in the settings area:

curl -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:7851/api/reload?tts_method=API%20TTS"

restart required on changing the setting here

I have no idea what limitations or issues there are or could be with Hindi support. I've done my best to set AllTalk to pass Devanagari script, but again, I have no idea what Coqui's scripts are/aren't doing with this.

You are welcome to update and give it a try, but please note the above requirements and limitations.

Thanks

Hi @iamjamilkhan

The only reason its saying that its loading the 2.0.2 model is because its stored as the internal name within AllTalk, rather than any setting its pulling from the model. If you need to change it for purposes of being tidy, you would edit modeldownload.json and change the internal name there, specifically the model_path folder:

and you would re-name the folder in /models/ to match the name you are giving it:

When AllTalk loads, it will report the name stored by model_path

Thanks

Hi @iamjamilkhan

No probs, looked like I introduced a bug. Ive resolved that now so just perform another git pull and all should be good. Just make sure to ensure you:

have the 2.0.3 model
use API TTS mode.

Regarding the TTS generator, I don't personally read or write Devanagari script. The TTS generator splits on a period/full stop to delimit the sentences. My best guess is that in Devanagari script you don't use a period/full stop to delimit sentences. As such I doubt the TTS generator will split correctly, if at all.

If you can provide me a simple, This is the character that Hindi uses to split sentences, then I can attempt to introduce it, however, remember I have no understanding of Hindi and Devanagari script. so testing is also hard for me to confirm if things work correctly as/when it would split.

Thanks
