VAENAR-TTS - PyTorch Implementation

PyTorch Implementation of VAENAR-TTS: Variational Auto-Encoder based Non-AutoRegressive Text-to-Speech Synthesis.

Quickstart

Dependencies

You can install the Python dependencies with

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Inference

You have to download the pretrained models and put them in output/ckpt/LJSpeech/.

For English single-speaker TTS, run

python3 synthesize.py --text "YOUR_DESIRED_TEXT" --restore_step RESTORE_STEP --mode single -p config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml -m config/LJSpeech/model.yaml -t config/LJSpeech/train.yaml

The generated utterances will be put in output/result/.

Batch Inference

Batch inference is also supported, try

python3 synthesize.py --source preprocessed_data/LJSpeech/val.txt --restore_step RESTORE_STEP --mode batch -p config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml -m config/LJSpeech/model.yaml -t config/LJSpeech/train.yaml

to synthesize all utterances in preprocessed_data/LJSpeech/val.txt

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.

Preprocessing

First, run

python3 prepare_align.py config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml

for some preparations. And then run the preprocessing script.

python3 preprocess.py config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml

Training

Train your model with

python3 train.py -p config/LJSpeech/preprocess.yaml -m config/LJSpeech/model.yaml -t config/LJSpeech/train.yaml

TensorBoard

Use

tensorboard --logdir output/log/LJSpeech

to serve TensorBoard on your localhost. The loss curves, synthesized mel-spectrograms, and audios are shown.

Implementation Issues

• Removed arguments, methods during converting Tensorflow to PyTorch: name, kwargs, training, get_config()
• Specify in_features in LinearNorm which is corresponding to tf.keras.layers.Dense. Also, in_channels is explicitly specified in Conv1D.
• get_mask_from_lengths() function returns logical not of that of FastSpeech2.
• In this implementation, the griffin_lim algorithms is used to convert a mel-spectrogram to a waveform. You can use HiFi-GAN as a vocoder by setting config, but you need to train it from scratch (you cannot use the provided pre-trained HiFi-GAN model).
