Primary LanguageJupyter NotebookBSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" LicenseBSD-3-Clause

GUI Work in Progress (update 21 July 2020)

GUI wrapper for synthesize. Allows CPU-only synthesis via a toggleable switch. Portable exe file is available (that runs on CPU only).

Also plays TTS donations alerts from Stream Elements.

Download Link

A portable executable can be found at the Releases page, or directly here. Download a pretrained Tacotron 2 and Waveglow model from below.

Tacotron 2 (without wavenet)

PyTorch implementation of Natural TTS Synthesis By Conditioning Wavenet On Mel Spectrogram Predictions.

This implementation includes distributed and automatic mixed precision support and uses the LJSpeech dataset.

Distributed and Automatic Mixed Precision support relies on NVIDIA's Apex and AMP.

Visit our website for audio samples using our published Tacotron 2 and WaveGlow models.

Pre-requisites

  1. NVIDIA GPU + CUDA cuDNN

Setup

  1. Download and extract the LJ Speech dataset
  2. Clone this repo: git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/tacotron2.git
  3. CD into this repo: cd tacotron2
  4. Initialize submodule: git submodule init; git submodule update
  5. Update .wav paths: sed -i -- 's,DUMMY,ljs_dataset_folder/wavs,g' filelists/*.txt
    • Alternatively, set load_mel_from_disk=True in hparams.py and update mel-spectrogram paths
  6. Install PyTorch 1.0
  7. Install Apex
  8. Install python requirements or build docker image
    • Install python requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt

Training

  1. python train.py --output_directory=outdir --log_directory=logdir
  2. (OPTIONAL) tensorboard --logdir=outdir/logdir

Training using a pre-trained model

Training using a pre-trained model can lead to faster convergence By default, the dataset dependent text embedding layers are ignored

  1. Download our published Tacotron 2 model
  2. python train.py --output_directory=outdir --log_directory=logdir -c tacotron2_statedict.pt --warm_start

Multi-GPU (distributed) and Automatic Mixed Precision Training

  1. python -m multiproc train.py --output_directory=outdir --log_directory=logdir --hparams=distributed_run=True,fp16_run=True

Inference demo

  1. Download our published Tacotron 2 model
  2. Download our published WaveGlow model
  3. jupyter notebook --ip=127.0.0.1 --port=31337
  4. Load inference.ipynb

N.b. When performing Mel-Spectrogram to Audio synthesis, make sure Tacotron 2 and the Mel decoder were trained on the same mel-spectrogram representation.
