German Text-To-Speech Engine using Tacotron and Griffin-Lim

Overview

jotts

JoTTS is a German text-to-speech engine using tacotron and griffin-lim. The synthesizer model has been trained on my voice using Tacotron1. Due to real time usage I decided not to include a vocoder and use griffin-lim instead which results in a more robotic voice but is much faster.

API

  • First create an instance of JoTTS. The initializer takes force_model_download as an optional parameter in case that the last download of the synthesizer failed and the model cannot be applied.

  • Call speak with a text parameter that contains the text to speak out loud. The second parameter can be set to True, to wait until speaking is done.

  • Use text2wav to create a wav file instead of speaking the text.

Example usage

from jotts import JoTTS
jotts = JoTTS()
jotts.speak("Das Wetter heute ist fantastisch.", True)
jotts.text2wav("Es war aber auch schon mal besser!")

Todo

  • Add an option to change the default audio device to speak the text
  • Add a parameter to select other models but the default model
  • Add threading or multi processing to allow speaking without blocking
  • Add a vocoder instead of griffin-lim to improve audio output.

Training a model for your own voice

Training a synthesizer model is easy - if you know how to do it. I created a course on udemy to show you how it is done. Don't buy the tutorial for the full price, there is a discout every month :-)

https://www.udemy.com/course/voice-cloning/

If you neither have the backgroud or the resources or if you are just lazy or too rich, contact me for contract work. Cloning a voice normally needs ~15 Minutes of clean audio from the voice you want to clone.

Disclaimer

I hope that my (and any other person's) voice will be used only for legal and ethical purposes. Please do not get into mischief with it.

    my code is

    from jotts import JoTTS
    jotts = JoTTS()
    jotts.speak("Das Wetter heute ist fantastisch.", True)
    jotts.textToWav("Es war aber auch schon mal besser!")
    

    and I receive this :

    I tried to drop a spectrogram sanmple as npy and feed HifiGAN but it gave me a lot of noise. I am wondering how good your results are, do you have samples with vocoders like above?

    can this run on a Rapsberry Pi Zero ?

    Sorry not an issue but I would like to have a Raspberry Pi Zero speak German without the need for an Internet connection (Amazon Polly and IBM Watson have great German voices but are paid service quite complex to install - not to mention the need for a connect and its delays) I just subscribed to your course (I understand only a bit of German) ;-) Maybe some of the heavy work can be done on a fast computer but I need the text to speech to be done on the Raspberry Pi ?

    Missing additional information in README

    Typo somewhere: The readme says "The synthesizer model has been trained on my voice using Tacotron1." while the releases say "v0.1 Latest Pre-trained German synthesizer model based on tacotron2."

    Can you add more hints how you trained your model(s), i.e. which base repository, data structure and how many hours of your voice you need for the current results?
