Comprehensive-Transformer-TTS - PyTorch Implementation
A Non-Autoregressive Transformer based TTS, supporting a family of SOTA transformers with supervised and unsupervised duration modelings. This project grows with the research community, aiming to achieve the ultimate TTS. Any suggestions toward the best Non-AR TTS are welcome :)

One TTS Alignment To Rule Them All (Badlani et al., 2021): We are finally freed from external aligners such as MFA! Validation alignments for LJ014-0329 up to 70K are shown below as an example.

Toggle the type of duration modelings by

Quickstart
DATASET refers to the names of datasets such as LJSpeech
and VCTK
in the following documents.
Dependencies
You can install the Python dependencies with
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Also, Dockerfile
is provided for Docker
users.
Inference
You have to download the pretrained models and put them in output/ckpt/DATASET/
. The models are trained with unsupervised duration modeling under transformer building block.
For a single-speaker TTS, run
python3 synthesize.py --text "YOUR_DESIRED_TEXT" --restore_step RESTORE_STEP --mode single --dataset DATASET
For a multi-speaker TTS, run
python3 synthesize.py --text "YOUR_DESIRED_TEXT" --speaker_id SPEAKER_ID --restore_step RESTORE_STEP --mode single --dataset DATASET
The dictionary of learned speakers can be found at preprocessed_data/DATASET/speakers.json
, and the generated utterances will be put in output/result/
.
Batch Inference
Batch inference is also supported, try
python3 synthesize.py --source preprocessed_data/DATASET/val.txt --restore_step RESTORE_STEP --mode batch --dataset DATASET
to synthesize all utterances in preprocessed_data/DATASET/val.txt
.
Controllability
The pitch/volume/speaking rate of the synthesized utterances can be controlled by specifying the desired pitch/energy/duration ratios. For example, one can increase the speaking rate by 20 % and decrease the volume by 20 % by
python3 synthesize.py --text "YOUR_DESIRED_TEXT" --restore_step RESTORE_STEP --mode single --dataset DATASET --duration_control 0.8 --energy_control 0.8
Add --speaker_id SPEAKER_ID for a multi-speaker TTS.
Training
Datasets
The supported datasets are
- LJSpeech: a single-speaker English dataset consists of 13100 short audio clips of a female speaker reading passages from 7 non-fiction books, approximately 24 hours in total.
- VCTK: The CSTR VCTK Corpus includes speech data uttered by 110 English speakers (multi-speaker TTS) with various accents. Each speaker reads out about 400 sentences, which were selected from a newspaper, the rainbow passage and an elicitation paragraph used for the speech accent archive.
Any of both single-speaker TTS dataset (e.g., Blizzard Challenge 2013) and multi-speaker TTS dataset (e.g., LibriTTS) can be added following LJSpeech and VCTK, respectively. Moreover, your own language and dataset can be adapted following here.
Preprocessing
-
For a multi-speaker TTS with external speaker embedder, download ResCNN Softmax+Triplet pretrained model of philipperemy's DeepSpeaker for the speaker embedding and locate it in
./deepspeaker/pretrained_models/
. -
Run
python3 prepare_align.py --dataset DATASET
for some preparations.
For the forced alignment, Montreal Forced Aligner (MFA) is used to obtain the alignments between the utterances and the phoneme sequences. Pre-extracted alignments for the datasets are provided here. You have to unzip the files in
preprocessed_data/DATASET/TextGrid/
. Alternately, you can run the aligner by yourself.After that, run the preprocessing script by
python3 preprocess.py --dataset DATASET
Training
Train your model with
python3 train.py --dataset DATASET
Useful options:
- To use a Automatic Mixed Precision, append
--use_amp
argument to the above command. - The trainer assumes single-node multi-GPU training. To use specific GPUs, specify
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=
at the beginning of the above command.
TensorBoard
Use
tensorboard --logdir output/log
to serve TensorBoard on your localhost. The loss curves, synthesized mel-spectrograms, and audios are shown.
Notes
- Both phoneme-level and frame-level variance are supported in both supervised and unsupervised duration modeling.
- Note that there are no pre-extracted phoneme-level variance features in unsupervised duration modeling.
- Convolutional embedding is used as StyleSpeech for phoneme-level variance in unsupervised duration modeling. Otherwise, bucket-based embedding is used as FastSpeech2.
- Unsupervised duration modeling in phoneme-level will take longer time than frame-level since the additional computation of phoneme-level variance is activated at runtime.
- Two options for embedding for the multi-speaker TTS setting: training speaker embedder from scratch or using a pre-trained philipperemy's DeepSpeaker model (as STYLER did). You can toggle it by setting the config (between
'none'
and'DeepSpeaker'
). - DeepSpeaker on VCTK dataset shows clear identification among speakers. The following figure shows the T-SNE plot of extracted speaker embedding.
- For vocoder, HiFi-GAN and MelGAN are supported.
